What Wall Street Has Been Saying
🐂 Bullish Takeaways
-
Several firms, including Stifel, Canaccord, Barclays and DA Davidson, had previously raised Braze price targets into the US$33 to US$40 range, pointing to customer wins, AI features and partner feedback as supportive for execution and longer term growth prospects.
-
DA Davidson now describes Salesforce's acquisition of Braze as a positive use of capital, citing Braze's valuation relative to its own trading history and the potential for Salesforce to use Braze to strengthen weaker areas of its platform.
-
Jefferies and DA Davidson see Braze adding meaningful capabilities and talent to Salesforce Marketing and Commerce Cloud, with Jefferies highlighting prior deal activity at Braze as evidence of an active product and M&A playbook.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
-
Following the agreed US$47.50 per share cash offer from Salesforce, almost all covering firms such as Citi, UBS, Mizuho, Piper Sandler and Barclays have moved ratings to Neutral or Hold. This signals limited expected upside from current deal terms.
-
Evercore and Raymond James flag debate around the timing and price of the Salesforce deal, with some commentary that a higher competing bid looks unlikely and that the premium already reflects a fair outcome for existing Braze shareholders.
