Informatica Deepens Snowflake Partnership to Deliver Trusted, AI-Ready Data Via Polaris and Cortex AI

Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/news/press-releases/2025/05/27/salesforce-signs-definitive-agreement-to-acquire-informatica/">announced</a> Tuesday that it will acquire Informatica (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INFA#NYSE">INFA</a>) in a cash deal valued at approximately $8 billion. The acquisition underscores Salesforce's intent to bolster its artificial intelligence capabilities by integrating a core player in enterprise data management.
Under the terms of the deal, holders of Informatica's Class A and Class B-1 common stock will receive $25 per share — an 11% premium over the company's closing price of $22.55 on Friday, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/27/salesforce-acquires-informatica-for-8-billion/">TechCrunch</a> reported.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Informatica: &#8216;The Plumbing For AI&#8217;</h2>
Informatica CEO Amit Walia framed the acquisition as a shared effort to bring data and AI to life, describing Informatica in a statement as the plumbing for AI and data. Informatica's Intelligent Data Management Cloud platform helps enterprises connect, manage, and unify complex data systems across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
"Joining forces with Salesforce represents a significant leap forward in our journey," Walia said in a statement on Tuesday. "We have a shared vision for how we can help organizations harness the full value of their data in the AI era."
Steve Fisher, Salesforce's chief technology officer, said that the truly autonomous, trustworthy AI agents need the most comprehensive understanding of their data, adding that Informatica's metadata and catalog tools will complement Salesforce's agentic AI platform, Agentforce.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Rationale: Building A Foundation For Agentic AI</h2>
The acquisition builds on Salesforce's previous investments in data and AI. It follows the company's multibillion-dollar acquisitions of Slack at $27.7 billion in 2021, Tableau at $15.7 billion in 2019, and MuleSoft at $6.5 billion in 2018.&nbsp;
According to Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Informatica will be integrated alongside Data Cloud, Tableau, and MuleSoft to enable autonomous agents to deliver smarter, safer, and more scalable outcomes for every company.
Salesforce&#8217;s operating and financial chief Robin Washington said the company will move quickly to leverage Informatica's capabilities across public sector, life sciences, healthcare, and financial services verticals, where governed, trustworthy data is critical.
The deal is expected to close in early fiscal 2027, pending regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Informatica was taken private in 2015 through a $5.3 billion deal led by private-equity firm Permira and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Informatica says it serves more than 5,000 customers across nearly 100 countries, including over 80 of the Fortune 100, according to its acquisition announcement.
The transaction will be financed through a combination of Salesforce's cash and new debt, the company said in the announcement.&nbsp;

e.l.f Beauty, Box And Joby Aviation Are Among Top 11 Mid-Cap Gainers Last Week (May 26-May 30): Are Others In Your Portfolio?

Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) is in the news with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45617449/salesforce-strikes-8-billion-acquisition-to-boost-ai-and-data-cloud-power">$8 billion buyout </a>of data management company Informatica (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INFA#NYSE">INFA</a>), an ambitious foray into the AI and data integration business. But the tech behemoth isn&#8217;t only in the spotlight for the deal –investors are also eagerly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/05/45646698/salesforce-inc-ai-ambitions-vs-stock-realities-ahead-of-q1-earnings-reveal">awaiting its fiscal Q1 2026 earnings release</a>, due after the market close Wednesday. Between a fresh M&amp;A appetite and expanding AI roots, CRM-focused funds could be on the cusp of a data-driven rally.
ETFs In The Spotlight
The Informatica acquisition and the expected earnings release have implications for a number of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs that have big stakes in Salesforce</a>:
iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGV#BATS">IGV</a>): 7.4% weightage
First Trust Dow Jones Internet Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDN#NYSE">FDN</a>): 5.4% weightage
FT Vest Dow Jones Internet &amp; Target Income ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDND#BATS">FDND</a>): 5.4% weightage
These ETFs would stand to benefit if Salesforce&#8217;s quarterly earnings beat or meet forecasts and if the market perceives the Informatica acquisition as a strategic play in the growing AI space.
Can Salesforce Deliver?
Analysts are calling for Salesforce to post adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.55 on revenue of $9.75 billion, improving year over year from $2.44 EPS and $9.13 billion in revenue. Such a performance would demonstrate the company&#8217;s ongoing growth trend, but at a more tempered rate than what it experienced during its previous years of explosive expansion.
The earnings announcement is especially important since it will give us clues on how Salesforce&#8217;s recent strategic actions, such as acquiring Informatica, will affect its financial well-being and competitive standing in the AI-powered enterprise software industry.
Bottom Line
The dual emphasis by Salesforce on strategic acquisitions as well as strong earnings performance make it an important contributor to the AI and enterprise software industries. Both investors and ETF observers will be listening to the Q1 earnings announcement for signals about the direction of the company and the wider ramifications for tech-themed investment vehicles.

On Tuesday, Salesforce announced it had <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45617449/salesforce-strikes-8-billion-acquisition-to-boost-ai-and-data-cloud-power" rel="noreferrer noopener">agreed to acquire</a> Informatica Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INFA#NYSE">INFA</a>) for $8 billion or $25 per share, net of its current investment in the company in cash (11% premium to Informatica&#8217;s Friday close), Luria said.
According to the analyst, this is Salesforce&#8217;s first headline M&amp;A deal since the company acquired Slack in 2021 for $28 billion.

Since 2021, Salesforce has completed several strategic bolt-ons to enhance its data and AI offerings. The Informatica deals mark the third consecutive transaction focused on adding incremental data capabilities to the company&#8217;s growing product portfolio, specifically its Data Cloud offering.
While he noted potential benefits from adding Informatica&#8217;s data management capabilities, he is hesitant to endorse the deal given Informatica&#8217;s suboptimal execution track record and legacy technology offerings.
Luria noted that part of the reasoning for the rerating was that Salesforce would start covering up its slowing organic growth with acquisitions. The first part was evident on Tuesday, and the second part will be evident when Salesforce reports on Wednesday after the close, as per the analyst.
While the acquisition may become financially accretive in the second year, he did not believe that buying a legacy technology company that has lost its growth would change the fact that Salesforce is losing its own organic growth.
Luria said that just over a year ago, in April 2024, it was rumored that Salesforce was in advanced talks with Informatica to acquire the business for ~$10 billion.
While Informatica shareholders welcomed this news, Salesforce investors did not respond favorably, and shares declined 7% after the announcement, the analyst said.
He noted that several factors led to this initial reaction, but the wave of criticism from investors and market analysts seemed to center around Salesforce&#8217;s intentions to integrate Informatica&#8217;s legacy data capabilities with the company&#8217;s existing data cloud offering, which it has been building over the past few years.
Luria also inhabited this camp, taking a more skeptical view of this deal&#8217;s long-term strategic rationale from a product and innovation perspective.
Going forward, Luria expects Salesforce to continue acquiring software providers who offer additive features, allowing the business to push Agentforce to incremental customers.
The analyst is already street low for fiscal 2026 revenue growth at 5.5% versus consensus of 7.5%.
Price Actions: CRM shares traded lower by 0.37% at $276.19 at the last check Wednesday.

Salesforce Strikes $8 Billion Acquisition To Boost AI And Data Cloud Power

WIIM

Informatica shares are trading higher after the company announced Salesforce will acquire them for approximately $8 billion.

Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), the world's #1 AI CRM, and Informatica (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INFA#NYSE">INFA</a>), a leader in enterprise AI-powered cloud data management, have entered into an agreement for Salesforce to acquire Informatica for approximately $8 billion in equity value, net of Salesforce's current investment in Informatica. Under the terms of the agreement, holders of Informatica's Class A and Class B-1 common stock will receive $25 in cash per share.
The planned acquisition will enhance Salesforce's trusted data foundation critical for deploying powerful and responsible agentic AI. The combination of Informatica's rich data catalog, data integration, governance, quality and privacy, metadata management, and Master Data Management (MDM) services with the Salesforce platform will establish a unified architecture for agentic AI — enabling AI agents to operate safely, responsibly, and at scale across the modern enterprise.
Effective, enterprise-grade AI requires more than just data — it demands data transparency, deep contextual understanding, and rigorous governance:
<ul>
<li>Data Transparency: Informatica's advanced integration, catalog, and lineage tools show where data comes from, how it has changed, and how it is used — crucial for auditability and regulatory compliance.</li>
<li>Data Understanding: Informatica's rich metadata, combined with Salesforce's unified data model, will empower AI agents to interpret, connect, and act on enterprise data with meaningful context.</li>
<li>Data Governance: Built-in MDM, data quality controls, and policy management ensure that all data driving AI is standardized, accurate, consistent, and secure.</li>
</ul>
"Together, Salesforce and Informatica will create the most complete, agent-ready data platform in the industry," said Marc Benioff, Chair and CEO of Salesforce. "By uniting the power of Data Cloud, MuleSoft, and Tableau with Informatica's industry-leading, advanced data management capabilities, we will enable autonomous agents to deliver smarter, safer, and more scalable outcomes for every company, and significantly strengthen our position in the $150 billion-plus enterprise data market."
"Joining forces with Salesforce represents a significant leap forward in our journey to bring ​​data and AI to life by empowering businesses with the transformative power of their most critical asset — their data," said Amit Walia, CEO of Informatica. "We have a shared vision for how we can help organizations harness the full value of their data in the AI era."
Unlocking the Full Value of Enterprise Data Across Salesforce
Bringing together Informatica's cloud-native capabilities — including its extensive data catalog, data integration, governance, quality and privacy, metadata management, and MDM — with the Salesforce platform will unlock new capabilities for Salesforce's enterprise data stack, delivering a complete solution to the challenges of AI at scale, by:
<ul>
<li>Achieving Data Clarity with Data Cloud: Informatica will strengthen Data Cloud's leadership as a Customer Data Platform (CDP), ensuring data from across the organization is not just unified but clear, trusted, and actionable.</li>
<li>Elevating Agentforce: Combined, Informatica and Salesforce will provide a critical foundation for autonomous AI agents to interpret and act on complex enterprise data, building a true system of intelligence on a trusted system of understanding.</li>
<li>Augmenting the Customer 360: Salesforce CRM applications will be enhanced, giving teams the confidence to deliver more personalized and effective customer experiences, backed by trusted data.</li>
<li>Governed Understanding for MuleSoft: Informatica's advanced data quality, integration, cataloging, and governance will ensure data flowing through MuleSoft APIs is not just connected but also enriched, standardized, and trustworthy — a reliable stream ready to fuel AI-powered decisions and actions across the enterprise.</li>
<li>Context-Rich Insights for Tableau: Tableau users will benefit from richer, context-driven insights thanks to a more accessible and better-understood data landscape.</li>
</ul>
Delivering this level of value requires more than a partnership — it demands deep, native integration of Informatica technology within the Salesforce platform.
