Software stocks have underperformed the broader market by the widest margin since 2000. Luria notes MSFT, NOW, SNOW, and DDOG are trading at attractive valuations relative to growth. Newman highlights CRM and NOW are proving AI is an accelerator, not a displacer. The market is pricing in "obsolescence risk" (AI replacing software), but the counter-narrative is that AI is a "labor enhancer." These companies provide the essential infrastructure for AI (MSFT/SNOW) or the "rules and rails" of business (CRM/NOW) that cannot be easily replaced by LLMs. LONG. The sell-off is a tactical opportunity to buy high-quality compounders at depressed multiples. If "Agentic AI" actually begins replacing seat-based SaaS licenses faster than anticipated. |

Michael Batnick
Managing Partner, Ritholtz Wealth Management
|
Software stocks like Salesforce and ServiceNow have crashed recently due to fears that AI will replace their business models (the "AI killing SaaS" narrative). The market is over-extrapolating. Enterprise buyers don't just buy software for features; they buy it for "career risk" management (i.e., "You don't get fired for buying Salesforce"). Incumbents have distribution, data, and support teams that a "vibecoded app" created over a weekend cannot replicate. Michael bought these stocks during the drawdown, viewing the valuation compression as an overreaction to the AI threat. The stocks could remain "dead money" for years if the market refuses to re-rate them higher, or if AI actually does erode their seat-based pricing models faster than anticipated. |

"I don't think the incentives of the private sector are ideally aligned... its objectives are much, you know, around reducing labor costs, right? People want to automate." Autor confirms that the "San Francisco Consensus" (tech leadership) is aggressively pursuing labor cost reduction. This implies sustained, high-volume spending on enterprise software that promises efficiency gains and headcount reduction (Microsoft Copilot, Salesforce, ServiceNow). Long the enterprise software vendors selling the "efficiency" narrative to CFOs. "AI disillusionment" if productivity gains do not materialize quickly enough to justify the software costs. |

Adobe (ADBE) is down ~60%, Intuit (INTU) ~50%, and Workday (WDAY)/ServiceNow (NOW) have seen significant corrections despite stable or growing revenues. Similar to Salesforce, these companies are industry standards. For Adobe, while AI image generation exists, professional workflows require the full Adobe suite (editing, layers, vector). Professionals won't switch to a generic AI tool for complex deliverables. The "AI threat" is overstated; AI will be a feature *within* these platforms (e.g., Firefly in Photoshop). LONG. Buying the "best in breed" during a sector-wide panic. Pricing pressure from clients demanding AI-driven cost reductions. |

He points to "Operating cash flows of ServiceNow, CRM... It's going up as these prices of the stocks go down becoming more attractive." While he prefers the ETF for the broad market, he notes he is "selective in the larger cap companies" that have "domain expertise." The divergence between rising OCF and falling stock prices creates a valuation entry point for these specific category leaders. LONG. High-quality large caps are being unfairly dragged down with the broader software slump. Enterprise software spending slowdown; AI displacing seat-based pricing models. |

Dan Ives
Star Analyst at Wedbush

Ives calls the current software selloff the "most head scratching sell off... I've ever seen." He explicitly names ServiceNow (NOW), Mongo (MDB), Snowflake (SNOW), and Palantir (PLTR) as companies that will play "instrumental roles." The market fears AI (like Anthropic) will replace software (the "Sasspocalypse"). However, Ives argues the opposite: AI requires vast data and security infrastructure to function in enterprise. Therefore, these incumbents with "decades of data" will integrate AI to become incrementally bigger, making the current dip a "golden buying opportunity." LONG these specific software names as the "hearts and lungs" of AI use cases. AI startups (like the tax strategy example mentioned) successfully disrupting legacy pricing models faster than incumbents can adapt. |

"We are separating the market into two camps... Information merchants... and legacy platforms... the value of selling information to people is declining at a precipitous rate." For 15 years, the market fetishized "asset-light" software models. AI has flipped this. If AI reduces corporate headcount, the "per-seat" pricing model (SaaS) of companies like Salesforce and Workday collapses because there are fewer humans to sell subscriptions to. Furthermore, AI can replicate "information merchant" value propositions cheaply. Avoid "Vertical Market Software" and companies selling pure IP/Information; they are the "losers" in the AI shift. AI adoption might be slower than expected, or these companies successfully pivot to consumption-based pricing. |

Ives calls the recent software selloff ("SaaS Apocalypse") a "knee-jerk" reaction. He notes hyperscalers are committing $650B+ to CapEx this year. The market is wrongly assuming AI models (Anthropic/OpenAI) will replace enterprise software. In reality, AI requires the "hearts and lungs" of established data layers (Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle) to function. Ives cites a multiplier effect: for every $1 spent on NVDA, $8-10 will eventually flow to software/infrastructure. LONG. Buy the dip in marquee software names and cloud infrastructure providers. Enterprise spending slowdowns or faster-than-expected displacement of legacy SaaS by AI agents. |

Enterprise software giants are currently mispriced due to exaggerated fears of AI disruption. Ives has moved Salesforce (CRM) and ServiceNow (NOW) into his "AI 20" list. He notes Salesforce is trading at ~15x earnings, which he views as a massive dislocation. The market currently believes AI will "disintermediate" (replace) these companies. Ives argues the opposite: AI will be integrated *into* their stacks, driving 20-30% incremental revenue that is not currently factored into their stock prices. He views the sell-off as the "most disconnected call" of his career. Ives conducted "stress tests" by speaking to 40-50 CTOs and IT managers, confirming that these platforms remain essential to enterprise stacks. The market continues to view them as "guilty until proven innocent" regarding their ability to grow amidst AI competition. |

Brad Gerstner

Gerstner notes Salesforce (CRM) has compressed from 30x to 15x Free Cash Flow despite hitting revenue numbers. Sacks argues AI agents (like Claude Co-work) will work across applications, turning current SaaS tools into a commoditized "legacy infrastructure" layer. The market is discounting the terminal value of these companies. If AI agents can execute tasks across databases without a human needing a UI "seat," the per-seat pricing model collapses. The profit pool moves from the application layer to the agentic layer. Avoid or Short. The multiple compression is not a temporary dip but a structural repricing of future cash flow durability. These incumbents successfully pivot to become the "agentic workspace" themselves (e.g., Salesforce successfully monopolizing the agent layer). |

Enterprise software stocks have been decimated (down 30-70%) due to fears that Generative AI will allow companies to write their own code and replace SaaS providers. The sell-off is overdone for profitable companies with strong growth. * Intuit (INTU): AI is not a threat to the consumer TurboTax business or SMBs who cannot afford to build internal software. * Salesforce (CRM): Trading at its lowest P/E multiple in history (14x), cheaper than during the 2008 recession. * ServiceNow (NOW): Strong growth (19%) and a massive buyback program ($2B). * Box (BOX): Cheap (16x earnings) with consistent execution. * Atlassian (TEAM): Down 70% from highs but growing earnings at 30%. * Workday (WDAY): Trading at less than 15x earnings despite 18% expected growth. A proprietary screen identified these specific names as having >25% drawdowns but above-market earnings growth and profitability. The market may continue to punish software stocks irrationaly in the short term if AI fears persist. |

The host notes that SaaS stocks (Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, HubSpot) are down 40-70% and look like they are "falling off a cliff." He cites the "Crowding Out" effect: AI CapEx is draining the economy's dry powder. Every dollar invested in GPUs and AI infrastructure is a dollar taken away from traditional SaaS subscriptions. These companies are being "hollowed out like termites" as the market rotates capital from software to AI hardware/infrastructure. SHORT / AVOID. These legacy cloud names are the funding source for the new AI bubble. Oversold bounce if the rotation pauses or if AI monetization stalls. |
