Subscription and support revenue accounted for $3.38 billion of sales in the quarter, with professional services coming in at $228 million. The stock traded lower on Salesforce's forecast for earnings per share of 60 cents to 61 cents on $3.67 billion to $3.68 in revenue in the fiscal first quarter.
