Salesforce's Bigger Revenue Need to Force a Profit Next

Salesforce.com shares are only up slightly more than three percent over the course of 2014, perhaps a reflection of the company's inability to be profitable, and, its inability to hit targets. In late September, CEO and Chairman Marc Benioff dumped a few million dollars' worth of stock, and analysts are mixed on their outlook -- although, Morgan Stanley recently reiterated a positive rating for the company. With Silicon Valley legacy tech players, as well as some of its newer upstarts, looking to horn into the SaaS business, today's Chart of the Day may face near-term pressure from big companies.
