Arista Networks — The computer networking company added nearly 3% after beating Wall Street expectations on both lines in the second quarter. Arista posted adjusted earnings of $2.10 per share on $1.69 billion in revenue, while analysts polled by LSEG predicted $1.95 in earnings per share and $1.65 billion in revenue. Pinterest issued disappointing guidance for third-quarter revenue, giving a range of $885 million to $900 million and missing analysts' expectations. In its fiscal third quarter, Starbucks posted adjusted earnings of 93 cents per share, meeting expectations of analysts polled by LSEG. In the fiscal third quarter, Skyworks' adjusted earnings came in at $1.21 per share, in line with analysts' expectations, per LSEG.

Informatica , a U.S.-listed software developer, is well-positioned to benefit from the rise of artificial intelligence, according to analysts at Scotiabank. The California-headquartered firm last month launched its AI model — CLAIRE GPT — which is designed to help businesses use their data for generative AI applications. Generative AI, or GenAI, is the technology behind the hugely popular chatbot ChatGPT and other similar products. According to FactSet, the average price target of 16 analysts points to a 39% upside for the stock. RBC Capital analysts expect the stock to rise by 43% to $41 a share over the next 12 months.

Mason Morfit, Salesforce board member and co-CEO of activist investor ValueAct, has increased his stake in Marc Benioff's software firm to just under $1 billion, acquiring $99 million worth of shares earlier this week, just days after the company reported its first revenue miss since 2006. The trade was disclosed in a regulatory filing Thursday, sending Salesforce shares up around 3.5% on the news in morning trading. The other activists eyeing Salesforce at the time included Elliott Management, Dan Loeb's Third Point, and Starboard Value. Earlier this year, Salesforce's widely reported pursuit of data management firm Informatica sent shares see-sawing before the putative target said it was not considering a sale. Salesforce shares briefly eclipsed their previous 2021 highs earlier this year, but have since given back those gains and are down 4% year-to-date.

How much do we pay for an enterprise software business that may have hit the wall, suddenly slowing down to sales growth in the high single digits from growth in the double digits? But Salesforce is the most glaring of the enterprise software behemoths, which include ServiceNow , Adobe , Workday , SAP , Intuit , and fallen star MongoDB . Or to put it another way, Salesforce needs its clients to hire more people to increase sales growth. SaaS is another form of enterprise software, is another form of applications software, is another form of kryptonite. Of course, there will be enterprise software companies that defy the slowdown.

Enterprise data management company Informatica is not currently in talks to be acquired, the company said Monday, after earlier reports suggested that Salesforce was interested in a roughly $10 billion deal. Informatica shares slumped more than 7% on the news, while Salesforce shares rose around 1%. The acquisition would have been Salesforce's largest since the 2021 deal to purchase Slack. Salesforce's investors also reacted negatively to the idea of the deal, sending shares down more than 7% when news of the potential purchase first broke. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff's voracious appetite for mergers and acquisitions was one of the factors that drew a flurry of activists in 2023 seeking to rein in the company's spending.

The data startup Cohesity is gearing up to go public as soon as its bankers give the nod, CEO Sanjay Poonen told Insider. But when it last announced it had filed confidential IPO paperwork, on December 21, 2021, its timing couldn't have been worse. Before the startup could debut, the tech IPO window was slammed shut by rising inflation and interest rates, as well as fears of a full-blown recession. "I can't predict the market, but, you know, if that happens, I'd say we'd be as ready as we were in 2021," Poonen said. And as the market opens up, we'll pick the right time, whether it's fall, whether it's next year," Poonen added.
