Salesforce got hit with yet another analyst downgrade. But Jim Cramer is not ready to cut ties with the enterprise software giant and smallest position in the Club portfolio. Shares of Salesforce slipped over 2% Thursday, trading around $162.50 apiece, after KeyBanc downgraded the stock to a hold-equivalent rating and removed its $290 price target. The stock was down a lot more in premarket trading when Jim was talking about Key's call on CNBC. Jim read some of the quotes from the note, which were pretty damning. "The information we're gathering, both financial and anecdotal, is not rebounding or trending in the right direction," analyst Jackson Ader wrote. Not long after talking about it on television, Jim broke back in with reaction from Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. Jim said Benioff pinged him and argued the KeyBanc note was a "bad call," arguing that it clashes with evidence that shows its Agentforce platform is doing much better than what the firm indicated. Benioff "deserves some benefit of the doubt," concluded Jim, while acknowledging he respects both the analyst and the CEO. The downgrade comes as Salesforce battles the "SaaSpocalypse" narrative that has clobbered its stock. Salesforce is down roughly 7% over the past month and 38% this year. After a brief surge in late May and early June back over $200 a share, the sellers returned in full force, pushing the stock down 14 straight days until it reached a multiyear closing low of $150.12 on June 22. Investors worry that artificial intelligence will impale Salesforce's seat-based business model and allow customers to more easily replace some of its offerings with bespoke applications built in-house. Those concerns are exemplified in a Bloomberg News report Thursday , which said Starbucks is using AI to develop internal tools that could replace software purchased from Microsoft and IBM. Starbucks and Microsoft are both Club names. Defenders of Salesforce and other software vendors argue those concerns are over...
