The short version

In September 2025 Joseph Carlson said Salesforce was near an all-time low valuation, with its PE ratio at its lowest in five years. In October 2025 they described sentiment toward the stock as extremely poor despite improving fundamentals, said they would keep holding as long as fundamentals stayed positive, and could see the shares returning above $300, into the $330 range. In December 2025 they said conservative-to-bearish assumptions implied a 15% return, and reported being virtually flat on a $65,800 position they planned to keep a while longer. In February 2026 they said they had sold Salesforce to fund more Meta; later that month they called Salesforce undervalued but Meta the better deal.

Joseph Carlson’s price target and valuation calls on CRM

A price target, a fair-value estimate and a price worth buying at are different things. Each line below quotes which one was said, and when.

  1. Valuation view

    Salesforce is again near an all-time low valuation. Even going back 5 years, the PE ratio is down to its all-time low.

  2. Price target

    I could see Salesforce easily going back up to above $300 per share, into the 330 range.

  3. Valuation view

    So, I'm looking at Salesforce. I plug in very, I would say, conservative to bearish assumptions and I get a 15% return.

  4. Valuation view

    I still believe that the company's undervalued. Part of the reason that I sold the stock off weeks ago is simply because I think that meta is a better deal.

How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Joseph Carlson's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is CRM's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-10-23. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.
