How it trades on rate days beta 0.23 to TLT · on the worst bond days it held up better than the market

How it trades on rate days

How CRM has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.23 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Salesforce Inc moved 0.23% on average · correlation 0.05 · higher than 16% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.78 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.57% on average against −0.72% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −0.68% TLT −1.32% that day 2026-11-10

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Salesforce Inc

CRM in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Salesforce sells cloud software that companies use to manage relationships with their customers, built around the CRM record of every sales call, support ticket and marketing touch. It now layers Agentforce on top, letting customers build autonomous AI agents that work alongside staff on sales, service and back-office tasks. Data 360 turns that customer data into context those agents can act on, while Slack gives people and agents a shared place to work and Informatica adds tools to govern data across systems. Customers span industries including finance and healthcare, and the company is based in San Francisco.
Where it sits in the stack
Salesforce carries no seat in Closelooknet's hardware-focused indices, so it sits instead in the diary's enterprise software and applied-AI sleeve, alongside the other vendors building agents on top of business data. Its relevance to the AI build-out is as a customer of the compute and model layers rather than a supplier to them: it buys the underlying infrastructure to run agents against its own CRM records.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group frames Salesforce against other enterprise application vendors — ServiceNow, Microsoft, Oracle, HubSpot and Adobe — on the reasoning that these are the names the market prices it against rather than simple sector neighbours. SAP is the further competitor the wider market often names alongside them.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Salesforce holds a seat in the Agentic Winners 40 and sits in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It carries a Closelooknet score with momentum as its strongest module and valuation as its weakest. The diary has returned to it across several editions, including a post-earnings drift dossier and pieces on agentic application software, where its customer data is discussed as a foundation other AI agents draw on.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether Agentforce adoption shows up as durable subscription growth rather than a one-off feature launch, since that would test the gap between its momentum and its valuation reading.
