​Analysts at Goldman Sachs noted that the downgrade is mainly due to two main concerns facing the company. The firm highlighted that the company’s human capital management is much smaller and more crowded with CRM and enterprise resource planning, which limits growth potential for the company. Secondly, Goldman Sachs believes that the company’s AI strategy has taken longer than expected to crystallize.
