We're booking profits in a lagging stock as it pops on an OpenAI integration (www.cnbc.com)

Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust trimmed its Salesforce (CRM) position, selling 25 shares at about $247.71 and reducing its holding to 200 shares (weighting down to ~1.3% from ~1.5%). The sale comes after Salesforce stock jumped roughly 3% on news that OpenAI will integrate Slack — Salesforce’s collaboration platform — into Codex, OpenAI’s code-generation/developer-assist tool. The trade locks in about a 13% gain on shares bought in January 2022 and uses the short-lived rally as a profit-taking opportunity. For the AI/ML community, the OpenAI–Slack integration is notable because it extends developer tooling into collaboration contexts: Codex gains access to real-time team and project context from Slack, which could improve code generation, debugging and knowledge transfer workflows. That technical synergy could boost Slack’s stickiness and data signal value, but broader market concerns persist: CRM is down ~26% YTD amid fears AI is disrupting seat-based SaaS economics and that Salesforce’s Agentforce AI isn’t ramping fast enough to offset declines in core apps. Salesforce’s upcoming Dreamforce conference will be watched for strategic responses; for now, the integration delivered a tactical share-price lift that investors like Cramer used to trim exposure.
