Recent reports over the last two days brought renewed attention to old Q4 filings on Salesforce, with both Choreo LLC and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group shown trimming their stakes in the cloud software giant. The original 13F documents hit the SEC’s system on Jan. 23. By Monday morning, Salesforce shares had climbed $5.54 to $170.50.
Big software names are back in the spotlight, and it’s not exactly comfortable timing. The S&P 500 Software and Services Index has slid 25.5% in 2026, Reuters said last week, as investors fret that rapid-fire developments in AI could erode the appeal of established subscription-software players.
Salesforce is under added pressure after its February guidance, which put fiscal 2027 revenue below what Wall Street had penciled in—even as the company ramped up its AI push. “They need to turn that initial AI buzz into something that lands with bigger customers,” said Rebecca Wettemann, chief executive of Valoir.

Choreo’s latest 13F filing shows it held 27,733 Salesforce shares valued at roughly $7.37 million as of Dec. 31. According to a MarketBeat summary, the firm trimmed its position by 15,125 shares during the quarter.
Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group listed 2,478,864 shares of Salesforce, worth $656.7 million at the end of the year, according to its filing. Holdings Channel and MarketBeat both noted this marked a decrease of 234,110 shares from the previous quarter.
Timing is key. Each disclosure reflected positions as of Dec. 31, with filings hitting on Jan. 23—meaning there’s no read on current holdings for either investor.
Salesforce sought to reassure investors in February, promising heftier cash payouts and touting an AI-focused growth plan. The company put up $41.5 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue, bumped its 2030 goal to $63 billion, and greenlit a $50 billion stock buyback. Marc Benioff described Salesforce as now being “an operating system for the Agentic Enterprise”—the company’s pitch for a workplace where human and AI agents collaborate within a single platform.

The risk remains obvious. If the market keeps seeing AI as a threat instead of a catalyst for legacy software, Salesforce may just keep sliding alongside the rest. “Software-specific concerns stemming from AI” are back on investors’ minds, according to Steve Sosnick at Interactive Brokers. JonesTrading’s Michael O’Rourke flagged that the latest models are highlighting “the weakness of the current software.” Reuters
Salesforce wasn’t alone in feeling the heat. According to Reuters, shares of Adobe, Intuit and Workday all slid last week as AI worries rippled through enterprise software stocks, a reminder of just how fast sentiment shifts in the sector.
At this point, headlines linking Choreo and Sumitomo Mitsui serve mainly as a reminder rather than offering fresh news. The filings themselves are already dated. The bigger question facing Salesforce: Can its AI offerings shift from pilots to widespread deployment quickly enough to actually fuel expansion?
