What are analysts' consensus EPS and revenue estimates for the Q2 FY2026 results and how does Salesforce's guidance compare?
Answer
The news release you provided only announces the date and time of Salesforce’s (CRM) second‑quarter fiscal 2026 earnings announcement (Wednesday Sept 3 2025) and the associated conference call. It does not contain any of the following information that would be needed to answer your question:
- Analysts’ consensus earnings‑per‑share (EPS) estimate for Q2 FY 2026
- Analysts’ consensus revenue estimate for Q2 FY 2026
- Any guidance (EPS, revenue, or other operating metrics) that Salesforce has issued for the quarter
Because those data points are absent from the provided news item, I cannot give you the consensus EPS and revenue numbers, nor compare Salesforce’s guidance to those consensus estimates.
How you can obtain the missing information
Financial data platforms – Services such as Bloomberg, Refinitiv (formerly Thomson Reuters), FactSet, or S&P Capital IQ aggregate analyst consensus estimates for upcoming earnings. A typical query would be:
- Ticker: CRM
- Period: Q2 FY 2026 (ending ~ June 2025)
- Metrics: Consensus EPS, Consensus Revenue, Standard Deviation, Number of Estimates, etc.
- Ticker: CRM
Sell‑side research reports – Many broker research houses (e.g., JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse) publish quarterly outlooks that include consensus forecasts for Salesforce. These are often accessible via your brokerage’s research portal.
Company’s own guidance – Salesforce sometimes provides forward‑looking guidance in its earnings press releases, investor presentations, or during the earnings call itself. After the call (or the press release that follows), you can review:
- The “Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)” section of the Form 10‑K/10‑Q filing for FY 2026 Q2.
- The Investor Relations webcast replay (available at www.salesforce.com/investor) for any forward‑looking statements made by the CFO or CEO.
- The “Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)” section of the Form 10‑K/10‑Q filing for FY 2026 Q2.
Third‑party earnings preview sites – Websites such as Yahoo! Finance, Seeking Alpha, or MarketWatch often publish a “Earnings Preview” that lists consensus EPS and revenue estimates compiled from analyst surveys.
What to do next
- Check Salesforce’s Investor Relations page after the Sept 3 2025 call. The press release that accompanies the earnings results typically includes a “Guidance” section (if the company chooses to give one).
- Access a data‑provider terminal (Bloomberg, FactSet, etc.) to pull the latest consensus figures for Q2 FY 2026.
- If you have a brokerage account, look for the “Research” tab for CRM; many brokers surface analyst consensus data directly in the stock overview.
Bottom line
Based solely on the news excerpt you shared, there is no information available about analysts’ consensus EPS or revenue estimates, nor about Salesforce’s own guidance for Q2 FY 2026. To answer the question accurately, you’ll need to retrieve those figures from an earnings preview, a financial data service, or the post‑call press release/SEC filing that Salesforce will issue after the results are released. If you can provide those numbers (or a link to the full press release once it’s out), I’ll gladly compare the company’s guidance to the analyst consensus.
