Wedbush's Steve Koenig maintains an Outperform rating on Salesforce with an unchanged $166 price target.
The Thesis
Wedbush's firsthand checks and conversations paint a favorable picture of Salesforce's acquisition of MuleSoft, Koenig said in a Monday note.

Looking forward to fiscal 2020, the company could add $600 to $700 million in revenue, which represents three additional points of growth on top of fiscal 2019 estimates, he said.
After falling around 17 percent since the end of September, Salesforce's stock looks "attractive" as it trades at 6.2 times EF/forward revenue and 33 times EV/FCF, Koening said. Both of these multiples are a discount to peers that boast similar growth rates, which adds a "degree of downside protection," he said.
Price Action
Salesforce shares were trading up 3.12 percent at $142.26 at the time of publication Monday.
