Salesforce Q3 FY23 Earnings: Leadership Leaving and Soft Guidance

Salesforce’s Q3 FY23 total revenue came in at $7.84B, slightly higher than the expected $7.82B, and represented 14% growth year-over-year.  Salesforce also provided Q4 FY23 revenue guidance that came up short of what was previously expected, citing that they were not yet ready to give FY24 guidance.

Additionally, it was announced that Salesforce’s co-CEO, Bret Taylor, will be stepping down at the end of January 2023 (Salesforce’s year-end), stating that he wants to return to his “entrepreneurial roots.” This change in leadership marks a huge turning point for Salesforce that customers should be aware of and stay up-to-date on as we head into the new year.
