  • Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) replaced Intel in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The swap gave the value-focused index more exposure to technology and artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia was by far the best-performing Dow component in 2024.

The article from MSN Money discusses the performance of Salesforce, Inc., which was the best-performing stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 2024, but has since become the worst performer in early 2025. Despite its significant drop, the article explores whether this sell-off presents a buying opportunity for investors. Salesforce experienced a decline after reporting weaker-than-expected earnings and providing a less optimistic outlook for future growth, which led to a sharp sell-off. However, the piece suggests that the company's long-term growth prospects remain strong due to its leadership in cloud computing, customer relationship management (CRM), and ongoing investments in AI and data analytics. Analysts are split, with some seeing the current price as an attractive entry point due to Salesforce's robust fundamentals and market position, while others caution about potential further declines if the economic environment worsens. The article concludes by noting that for long-term investors, the dip might indeed be a chance to buy into a fundamentally sound company at a discount.
