“[On Treasury secretary saying productivity boom showing up in Q1 2026] Yeah well look, the productivity boom is going to come from not hiring as many people as you had to. This has so far not happened. But over and over again its the agentic.

Here are the CNBC TV host’s earlier comments about Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM)’s earnings:
“Okay, Salesforce, great question. I’ve owned the stock for, I don’t know, more than a decade. Here’s the problem… It’s enterprise software, and right now, the long knives are out for enterprise software. I need to see the quarter before I tell you… We own a small position for a Charitable Trust. We used to have a very big position. I’m nervous about exactly what I just laid out, which is this enterprise software of which Salesforce is very much involved in, even its ‘agentics,’ which is marvelous, is part of the software cohort.”
