▼ + stars: | 2024-05-29 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +8 min

The company's balance of margin expansion with the potential for faster top-line growth should lead to strong earnings growth. Non-GAAP operating margin benefited from the lower cost of revenues, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. Management reduced its revenue growth forecast for the subscription and support business to slightly below 10% over last year. The adjusted operating margin target of 32.5% was reaffirmed and is in line with expectations. For the second quarter, Salesforce estimates revenues of $9.2 to $9.25 billion, below the $9.345 billion estimate.

☆ Op-ed: How activist investors are deactivating with proxy battle losses
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-23 | by ( Jeffrey Sonnenfeld | Steven Tian | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

Whether today's activist investors contribute any genuine economic value is open for debate. As this year's proxy season draws to a close, defeat after defeat for activist investors in proxy fights this year – most prominently at Disney and Norfolk Southern – raises the question: Are activist investors increasingly getting de-activated, losing their credibility and power? These self-styled "activist investors" are distinct from the original activists who helped catalyze needed governance reforms two decades back. Many of today's activist investors are a far cry from the original, heroic crusaders for shareholder value who pioneered the activism space decades ago. However, given the failing financial performance of many of today's activist investors, their losing streak in proxy fights and increasing public rejection of their bullying tactics, the credibility and value of activist investors writ large is increasingly imperiled.

But the air force's update suggests that Ukraine plans on keeping at least some F-16s in Ukraine during periods when they are not flying. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned last month that Western air bases that host F-16s for Ukraine would be "legitimate" targets for his armed forces.
