The IT Home page is stamped 2026/10/21 8:23:19. The judgment first: about $5.66 billion is the value of this one deal. The company says it will not change the fiscal 2027 outlook. Two earlier acquisitions should not be added into that number.

Salesforce will acquire Braze at a deal value of about $5.66 billion. The page says the tool lets brands send personalized messages and respond to customer behavior in real time, and that Salesforce will use it to strengthen its AI business. That is a description of the deal, not a published test of results. The page also sets the deal next to a worry: that the spread of AI could weaken demand for traditional software. That is the page's framing, not a measured drop in demand. After the announcement, Braze shares rose more than 50 percent on Tuesday local time.
[1]Braze shareholders will receive $47.50 in cash per share, a premium of about 58.1 percent to the prior close. Braze serves about 2,770 customers, including Canva, Instacart, and Venmo. The page says its AI tools can help marketers optimize content, offers, and channels. It does not say by how much.
[1]Shay Boloor, chief market strategist at Futurum Equities, said Salesforce is in effect buying the real-time interaction layer that marketing had lacked. Those are his words. The page does not attach a retention figure or a revenue increment to support them.
[1]The customer-relationship-management company expects the deal to close in fiscal 2028, and says this acquisition will not change its fiscal 2027 outlook. The closing time is an expectation. The outlook is the company's statement.
[1]Earlier deals stay separate. Earlier this year Salesforce bought the AI agent platform Fin for $3.6 billion. Last year it completed the purchase of Informatica for $8 billion. Neither amount sits inside the $5.66 billion.
[1]If Salesforce terminates the deal, it must pay $300 million. If Braze walks away, it must pay $191.4 million. J.P. Morgan Securities, named on the page in Chinese as 摩根大通证券, is Salesforce's sole financial adviser. Qatalyst Partners advises Braze.
