Salesforce co-CEO Keith Block maintains that the company's earnings-per-share guidance cut is not a significant matter.


Shares of Salesforce closed around $161 and fell 2% during extended trading after it revealed it's per-share earnings guidance of $.54 to $.55 for the fourth-quarter ending in January, which is below Analysts estimations of $.61 per share.


Salesforce's fiscal third quarter ended with a per-share earnings of $.75, leaving the company's revenues at $4.5 billion.


According to Black, Salesforce expected a revenue of $17 billion and confirmed that Salesforce would double in size by fiscal 2024, reaching a revenue of $34 billion to $35 billion.


Despite Salesforce shares climbing some 18% this year, they have underperformed smaller cloud companies, including Shopify and Veeva.
