- About
- added: Veeva Systems Inc. (Veeva) sells cloud software, data and consulting to the life sciences industry. Its Commercial Solutions include CRM software for sales teams, such as Vault CRM and the older Veeva CRM, and customer and market data. Its R&D Solutions on the Veeva Vault platform manage clinical trials, regulatory filings, drug safety and quality. It also sells AI agents, such as Veeva AI and Veeva Falcon. Veeva has more than 1,500 customers, from the largest drug makers to small biotech companies. Revenue was $3,195 million in fiscal year 2026, which ended on January 31, 2026, and $928.0 million in Q2 of fiscal year 2027. Veeva is a Public Benefit Corporation. The head office is in Pleasanton, California. Peter Gassner is Chief Executive Officer.
- Thesis
- added: Veeva's price already includes years of steady growth. Veeva must move its CRM customers from the Salesforce platform to Vault CRM by the end of 2029, and Salesforce now competes for these customers. Some large customers chose Salesforce. Investors also ask whether AI agents will change how drug makers buy software. For the price to hold, three things must be true. Vault CRM must keep winning large drug makers, after 12 of the top 20 committed by August 2026. The R&D and quality products must keep growing fast. And new AI products such as Veeva Falcon must add revenue without lowering the price of the existing products. The Q3 fiscal 2027 report, expected in early December 2026, and the fiscal 2028 guidance, expected in early March 2027, are the next tests.
- Risks
- added: Veeva must move its CRM customers to Vault CRM, because its agreement with Salesforce ended on September 1, 2025. Veeva supports Veeva CRM until December 31, 2029. Salesforce competes for these customers, and some large customers committed to Salesforce. AI agents can change how drug makers buy and use software. If customers need fewer users or new rivals offer AI tools, revenue per customer can fall. All customers are in the life sciences industry. Lower drug prices, mergers of drug makers or cuts in research budgets reduce spending on software. Senior people changed in 2026: the President and Chief Customer Officer left in October, and the General Counsel retired in November. Stock-based compensation was $256 million in the first half of fiscal 2027. Share buybacks offset part of the dilution.
