Salesforce Keeps On Spending, Plus Fad-themed ETFs Shutter 8/30/23
Manage episode 375677697 series 2975155
After all that activist pressure, Marc Benioff’s M&A spending spree may seem like it’s ended – but in the past year, Salesforce has only been ramping up investments in AI startups. It’s funded at least seven, including leading a $200 million funding round for startup Hugging Face. Tonight’s numbers are set to show investors whether Benioff has more room to run, or will instead bring back more scrutiny. Plus, ETFs are closing at a record pace as niche funds targeting fads like crpyto, the metaverse, and Gen Z wane in popularity. On the flip side, the number of the less buzzy bond ETFs are soaring.
