Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:CRM) rallied 24% this week, marking its strongest weekly gain since August 2020.

The software giant also topped the S&P 500’s top-performing leaderboard for the week.

The rally followed Wednesday’s blockbuster second-quarter print: adjusted EPS of $5.90 crushed the $3.27 consensus, an 80% beat.

• Salesforce stock is gaining positive traction. Why is CRM stock trading higher?

Revenue of $11.35 billion grew 11% year-over-year. Management lifted fiscal-year 2027 adjusted EPS guidance to $16.67-$16.71, well above the $14.16 Street estimate.

Salesforce unveiled “Claudeforce,” a deepened Anthropic partnership making Claude the default AI model across Slack and core Salesforce products.

The company also booked a $2.6 billion mark-to-market gain on its Anthropic stake.

Shares jumped 22.6% Thursday alone, as the print quieted concerns that AI agents would erode Salesforce’s seat-based licensing model.
