Salesforce Directors Bet on Rebound After 30% Plunge
Salesforce (CRM) shares have tumbled nearly 30% in 2026, yet insiders see blood in the water. Directors Laura Alber and David Kirk collectively purchased ~$900K in CRM stock at $194-$195/share in March, signaling confidence ahead of a $25B buyback program. The stock now trades at $180.
Behind the scenes: Q4 earnings beat expectations, while net new annual order value growth accelerated in H2 fiscal 2026. This suggests latent revenue growth as contracts mature—a potential catalyst for the battered SaaS stock.
Market parallels emerge in crypto: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have shown similar resilience after steep corrections, with institutional buyers accumulating at perceived bottoms. The same 'buy-the-dip' mentality now tests CRM shareholders.
