In spite of being a relatively new venture, Salesforce is already an established name. Among IT companies’ market capitalization, Microsoft stands tall on top, followed by Oracle. IBM, SAP and Salesforce are some of the other top software companies. As per business analysis released by the companies themselves, the EV to EBITDA of Salesforce performed substantially better than that of the market leaders- Microsoft and Oracle. Annual dividends between Microsoft, Oracle and IBM were fairly consistent but Salesforce as of now is not in the practice of paying dividends to shareholders.
