Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - Guggenheim downgraded Informatica (NYSE:INFA) stock rating from Buy to Neutral on Thursday, citing the pending acquisition by Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) as the primary reason for the rating change. The company, currently valued at $7.5 billion, has demonstrated strong financial health with a perfect Piotroski Score of 9, according to InvestingPro data.
The downgrade follows Informatica’s second-quarter 2025 results, which exceeded consensus expectations across all metrics, according to Guggenheim’s analysis.
Informatica did not host an earnings conference call to discuss the quarterly results and declined to provide financial guidance due to the pending transaction with Salesforce, which is expected to close in early fiscal year 2027 for Salesforce.
Guggenheim’s decision to downgrade reflects the acquisition price of $25 per share for Informatica stock, as stated in the firm’s research note.
Guggenheim’s previous price target for Informatica was $27 per share, slightly above the agreed acquisition price in the Salesforce deal.
