Salesforce hit a 52-week low after Q4 FY2026 earnings revealed Agentforce revenue cannot yet offset churn in traditional seat-based licenses. The pivot to "Agentic Work Units" (AWUs) tacitly admits 10 AI agents can replace 100 SDRs. Piper Sandler also downgraded Adobe, Freshworks, and Vertex on seat compression fears. ServiceNow fell 11.4% despite EPS beat after admitting "agentic workflows" complicate seat-based growth visibility. The "SaaSpocalypse" wiped ~$1T from software stocks between mid-January and mid-February. MarketMinute

Here's the paradox nobody in SaaS wants to talk about. Salesforce deployed its own Agentforce across customer support. 380,000+ interactions. 84% fully resolved without a human. Only 2% escalated. By any product metric, that's a success. The stock dropped 26%. Investors see th...
The loudest enterprise-agent number of the quarter falls apart when you divide it. SaaStr's breakdown of Salesforce Q2 FY27 (reported August 26, stock up 23%) puts cRPO at $33.5B growing 14% against 11% revenue growth. Agentforce ARR passed $1.5B at +240% on 3.2 billion agenti...
