Guidance
Yesterday, Salesforce announced that the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Informatica Inc. There is no anticipated impact to Salesforce’s FY26 guidance as a result of this transaction based on the expected close timing in early FY27.
With the U.S. dollar weakening in Q1, Salesforce now expects a currency tailwind for the business. This tailwind has been incorporated into the Company’s updated FY26 guidance
