Salesforce has reported a strong performance in its Q2 fiscal 2026 earnings, with a significant increase in net income and revenue.

According to the earnings report released on September 3, 2025, the company's net income for the last quarter rose by 32% to nearly $1.89 billion. This figure was confirmed in a podcast interview with CEO Marc Benioff.

The revenue for the same quarter also saw a 10% year-over-year increase, reaching $10.24 billion. This figure surpassed the analysts' expectations of $10.14 billion.

In the same podcast, CEO Benioff also revealed that Salesforce had automated 4,000 out of the previous 9,000 jobs in its customer service department. This move is part of the company's ongoing efforts to streamline operations and improve efficiency.

Looking ahead, Salesforce has forecasted revenues between $10.24 and $10.29 billion for the current quarter. While this falls slightly short of the analysts' expected projection of $10.29 billion, it still represents a strong performance for the company.

The company has also been focusing on competitors such as SAP to meet expectations for the current quarter, as indicated by analyst advice ahead of the earnings report.

CEO Benioff described the first eight months of the year as the "most exciting of my career," suggesting that Salesforce is poised for continued growth in the coming months.

Overall, Salesforce's strong Q2 fiscal 2026 earnings report indicates a company that is not only meeting but exceeding expectations, and one that is well-positioned for future success.
