Salesforce beat earnings estimates and raised guidance, but stock dipped due to insider selling and increased puts.

Salesforce Inc. reported strong Q3 earnings, surpassing estimates with $3.25 EPS and 9.1% year-over-year revenue growth, and raised its 2026 Q4 guidance. Despite positive developments like the World Economic Forum adopting its Agentforce assistant and a healthcare partnership with Viz.ai, the stock faced short-term pressure due to a surge in put options, insider selling—including $929,000 by Director Neelie Kroes—and a 29% stake reduction by Pinnacle Financial Partners. The stock opened at $227.10, trading below key moving averages, while institutional ownership remains high at 80.43%.
