The software selloff looks overdone, as AI seems to be creating dispersion rather than killing software. All 13 S&P 500 software companies that have reported so far beat EPS estimates, and software stocks are up about 40% from their April lows. x.com 

ServiceNow's unexpected expense surge makes its rich valuation more vulnerable in a struggling software sector. Revenue rose 21%, but spending drove an EPS miss and one quarter of guided cRPO deceleration; wider market conditions could hurt near term. The 20% selloff looks excessive, and few software companies should benefit as much from AI. Management could deliver over 3-5 years, though the stock is only close to a buy again now; below $100 looks good for the long term. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Software stocks keep getting sold off even as software revenues keep climbing. x.com 

Software valuations are at 10-year lows, with a forward PEG ratio of 1.43 that is cheaper than the S&P 500's, which looks enticing unless software is truly dead. The software ETF is at a key crossroads, still below a bearish trendline in place since October despite a 3% Friday gain; a direct breakout would likely complete the bottoming phase, though it could still pull back to form a fuller inverse head and shoulders. x.com  x.com 

Software stocks look poised to rebound after being deeply oversold, with the data turning bullish. Breadth across 41 software names flipped from under 5% to 82.5% above their 10-day averages in three weeks, oversold readings hit 90.1 and stress eased to 35.6. Models put the 3-day probability of a rise at 85% and the 20-day crash probability at just 6.5%, with six of nine models bullish and global liquidity supportive. Leaders include Oracle, AppLovin and Microsoft. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  … Show more

Software is nowhere near a floor because AI has broken the assumption behind the sector's premium: very long-duration, highly recurring revenue. Competition is intensifying, new products such as Anthropic's suite far outperform incumbents like Microsoft Copilot, and AI natives move faster without legacy constraints. Accounting flatters results, with Snowflake's SBC above its CY25 free cash flow. Even at 30x GAAP earnings most names have downside, versus Alphabet at 23x and Nvidia at 14x. x.com  … Show more

Software stocks are set to rip higher on the news shared in the post. x.com 

Software holds the best value in a market of overbought, problematic AI trades, and sentiment toward it is quickly turning bullish. Even long-avoided Oracle could warrant a starter position on a dip into the $141-137 buy range, or on a close above the $147.5 support-resistance flip. Microsoft, Cloudflare, Adobe and ServiceNow are among the software names in focus. x.com  x.com 

Software stocks have no real bull case; their recent strength is purely positioning-driven, so after perhaps a couple more weeks of gains they should resume falling. x.com 

Software's relative strength and sound finances make institutional rotation from semis plausible. It could lead while semis consolidate, despite slow growth at some firms; the market rewards cash flow, healthy balance sheets and manageable debt. Salesforce, ServiceNow, Palantir, Shopify and Workday hold up; SAP's cloud and AI shift, Instacart's massive 10-month base, Veeva's massive five-year base and Atlassian's Stage 2 strength add to the case. Semis may still rally; the view can change. x.com  … Show more
