Salesforce uses its latest earnings report to counter investor anxiety about the so-called “SaaSpocalypse,” the idea that AI agents could undermine per-seat SaaS business models. The company reports $10.7 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, up 13% year-over-year, and $41.5 billion for the year, up 10%, with results boosted by its $8 billion acquisition of Informatica last May. Net income lands at $7.46 billion, and Salesforce guides to $45.8 billion to $46.2 billion in revenue for the year ahead while reporting remaining performance obligation above $72 billion. CEO Marc Benioff repeatedly addresses “SaaSpocalypse” on the call, while Salesforce highlights AI-agent offerings, a new metric called agentic work units, and shareholder returns including a higher dividend and a $50 billion buyback.
