Salesforce investors and traders might be breathing a sigh of relief, at least the ones thinking like me. Lauren Thomas' story for The Wall Street Journal "Salesforce's Talks to Buy Informatica Fizzle" https://lnkd.in/eyqPv7t9 is, I think good news (I neither invest in nor trade Salesforce at this time, nor have I in the past). Nevertheless, the reason for the disconnect, Thomas reports sources said they could not agree on "terms", keeps my concerns going. A Reuters story on the same topic mentioned "price" to give a bit more definition. If Salesforce has been following the price of its stock since announcing the talks were ongoing, then fizzling them out would make sense and be more welcome. But basing the parting of the ways on price says, to me, management would have closed the deal on a more favorable price - still not a smart move as I see it and not one respecting investor sentiment. Do you invest in Salesforce, the stock, or in Informatica? What do you think about news the merger talk is off? #saleforce #informatica #mergersandacquisitions

Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM, ETR:FOO) shares fell 2.6% in pre-market trading after reports that it is in talks to buy cloud-data firm Informatica. Discussions between the two New York Stock Exchange-listed companies are at an advanced stage, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday after hours. Informatica stock has soared 139% over the past 12 months, with takeover speculation playing a part. At the last close price of $38.48, it had a market cap of just over $11 billion. As a provider of cloud services to corporates, Informatica competes against Salesforce’s 2018 acquisition of MuleSoft. "We believe a hypothetical acquisition would complement MuleSoft and expand Salesforce's data management capabilities," said analysts at Jefferies. "It would also unlock the data cloud and artificial intelligence opportunity." More at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors http://ow.ly/CCjO105pweC

Salesforce's stock has gotten a boost this week after The Wall Street Journal reported that the company is no longer pursuing a deal to buy Informatica, a cloud data management firm. Informatica serves major companies such as Deloitte and Unilever and could have been valued at around $10 billion. This deal would have been Salesforce's largest acquisition since it purchased Slack earlier this year. Last week, shares of both Salesforce and Informatica fell about 7% on news of the potential deal. However, Salesforce's stock has recovered some of those losses, rising 2% on Monday morning. Informatica's stock, on the other hand, dropped almost 10%. Salesforce has acquired more than 70 companies since 2006, according to Quartz.

Salesforce is reportedly in deep talks to acquire Informatica. Good strategy? Much like its purchase of MuleSoft, this is another step into becoming a full-fledged data-centric platform for the enterprise. While all the talk is about #AI these days (and Salesforce is doing plenty with it as well), this backs up my belief that the recent focus on AI is only deepening the need for enterprise leaders to focus on two core building blocks: #data and #processautomation. Whether or not this is a good acquisition will depend on a lot of things. Big acquisitions are always tough, but I believe this may be a positive move that supports the trend toward more deeply integrated platforms. It will be interesting to watch play out.
