Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) has been in the red throughout 2025, following mixed earnings and growing fears of weakening demand for its artificial intelligence offerings.
Those concerns intensified last week after President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on major U.S. trading partners, sparking volatility across global equity markets.
The next day, Salesforce stock plunged 6% to $255.23 and the slide hasn’t stopped. As of the close on April 8, shares ended the day at $243.99.
In pre-market trading on April 9, Salesforce stock slipped another 0.82% to $242.00, extending its five-day loss to 8.28%.
Amid the pullback, an insider bought the dip, scooping up approximately $1 million worth of the company’s stock, according to a Form 4 filing made public on April 4.
