Salesforce rumor mills are always abuzz with buzz about the upcoming acquisition of another software company. While there are many other software companies that could be the target of such a deal, it's clear that the Lightning Bolt is the most recognizable. In fact, Salesforce has an icon that resembles a lightning bolt, and the company's cloud computing platform is very popular. This makes a Salesforce acquisition even more probable.
Coupa
Several rumors have surfaced regarding the future of Coupa, one of which claims Salesforce is acquiring the company. The company is a cloud-native platform, so integration with other systems is easy. However, Coupa's shares have been plummeting since February 2021, when they were trading at $369.5 a share. So what exactly is the reasoning behind Coupa's downgrade from that high?
While Coupa has been losing market share to competitors such as Ariba, it remains one of the most trusted companies in the sector. Its customers trust it to offer them a range of products and services, and it has been named one of the most reputable companies in 2017. Its services range from invoicing and expense management to strategic sourcing and contingent workforce. Its total addressable market is estimated at more than $50 billion.
Zendesk
There are numerous rumors circulating about the upcoming merger between Zendesk and Salesforce. While both companies are very similar, they do have different strengths and weaknesses. Salesforce's biggest USP is its ability to connect customer data across other products from sales to marketing. With more than 5000 apps and extensions, Salesforce has a much wider view of the customer journey. While Zendesk is great for smaller businesses, it can be used by large companies, too.
The two companies share a number of similar products, such as customer relationship management (CRM) software. Although they have different customer base, both companies specialize in customer service software. Both companies have extensive experience in customer support. They also help businesses manage customer relationships. This combination of two well-known companies could potentially boost sales. However, Salesforce's higher debt load could dissuade shareholders from voting in favor of the merger. Salesforce's rival, SAP SE, has some similar CX products. While SAP SE also has products for CX, it is focusing on mitigating the weak state of its markets in Eastern Europe.
Veeva
Veeva has made a big splash with its IPO and has made profits ahead of its IPO. The company has also seen stellar revenue growth in the past three years. Its fiscal 2022 revenue is projected to increase by 21%, to more than $1.85 billion, and the adjusted operating margin is projected to grow from 41% to 53%. Veeva is part of a wave of cloud software startups, which are taking the life sciences industry into the cloud. The company's Vault platform makes it easy for companies to store and analyze data. The company's revenue growth will continue to rise and it expects life sciences companies to ramp up spending on cloud-based services.
Veeva Systems, which is based in San Francisco, has built up a list of over 170 biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. This industry is huge with a market value of $1.6 trillion, and is subject to government regulations that constantly change. With this list of clients, Veeva may be in a good position to get a large portion of that business. Veeva's software helps these companies streamline their data, improve their efficiency, and increase profitability.
Box
If you've been paying attention to the latest rumors about Box and Salesforce, you've probably noticed a few recurring themes. First of all, the company is worth $3.6 billion. And it has more than $6 billion in cash on hand. If Box and Salesforce are really compatible, the rumors would be true! So what's going on with the companies? Let's examine the underlying motives of these companies.
First of all, it's clear that Box is excited about its suite of products, and it's already growing. The company's recent guidance includes 15 percent revenue growth this quarter and 13 percent next year. Compared to last year, this is an impressive acceleration. The company's growth has been 11 percent, and this forecast is much better than the company's growth in recent years. That's good news for Box, but there are many other factors to consider as well.
