Rotation into tech hardware and software
Investors are currently rotating out of semiconductors and into technology hardware and software, which he interprets as a healthy rebalancing within the tech sector rather than an outright exit. This flow suggests near-term upside in hardware and software names as the semis unwind continues.

Software faces AI disruption near-term.
The software group is being disrupted by AI infrastructure spending; CTOs are focused on AI adoption and rationalizing token usage, creating near-term headwinds for software companies. IBM's sharp drop exemplifies the risk. Questions around business models persist short term, though medium term select vertical software with proprietary data may benefit.

Buy IGV as a software ETF vehicle to capture the sector's counter-trend rally versus AI names; author explicitly likes it as a hedge/complement to AI exposure during volatile summer tape.

Enterprise software pressured by AI substitution threat.
Generative AI tools are giving corporate CTOs the ability to displace or renegotiate expensive vendor software subscriptions. Contract renewals are no longer automatic, and the narrative has shifted from SaaS lock-in to a threat of substitution. The concept of 'the death of Salesforce' emerged quickly as an example, indicating that enterprise software valuations may be impaired by AI-driven deflation in software spend.

Software ETF IGV is struggling.

Hold US software ETF IGV for AI gains.
US software is a stable long-term holding that benefits from AI transformation, and IGV (iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF) offers diversified exposure with mega-caps and growth names, making it a core position for US equity allocation.

IGV is a stable core software ETF
US software sector is attractive because hardware-software correlation is low, allowing software to rally when semiconductors correct. Many software companies still post double-digit revenue growth, and agentic AI is creating new demand. She recommends using IGV as a core, stable holding for long-term investors.

Software and cloud valuations reset with strong growth.
Software and cloud computing names have come down from nosebleed valuations to in-line or below the broader market while still showing very strong growth, and upcoming earnings will prove that we still need software for day-to-day jobs.

Software benefits from AI rotation.
Software is an opportunity as the AI trade rotates away from semiconductors and hyperscalers; Citi upgraded software to market weight, viewing it as a tertiary beneficiary of AI pressure elsewhere.

SaaS under pressure, avoid.
Software-as-a-Service appears stretched and vulnerable because AI agentic capabilities are replacing traditional software services, capping a recovery. Remains cautious and does not expect the sector to rebound quickly.

Buy AI picks and shovels: chips, software.
The AI 'picks and shovels'—semiconductors, software, and power—remain attractive as the market focuses on the AI value chain. Software earnings have been resilient and the sector has sold off too much, presenting opportunity.

Buy software stocks at low valuations
Software stocks are down significantly; a rebound is likely, not back to 21x P/E but to 10-12x. Attractive valuations create opportunities.

Software sector is cheap and improving.
Software sector multiples became too compressed relative to the opportunity. Companies are starting to monetize AI on the revenue side, making the sector attractive with earnings growth still not at peak.

Rotate into washed-out software stocks
Within tech, money is rotating into software stocks from hardware and Korean names, because software positioning was washed out to five-year lows and the rotation signals a broadening rather than a tech drawdown.

Software sector undervalued, great bargain.
The software sector is undervalued because the market has taken the view that AI will replace software purchases, but this assumption is too extreme. Software stocks are consequently on sale and represent a great bargain.

Software sector dead money from AI
Software companies face structural disruption from AI: seat-based pricing may shift to usage-based models and backend APIs, threatening current business models. While near-term earnings hold up, the market fears long-term derating, making the sector 'semi-dead money' that should be avoided.

Software stocks are unjustly punished
The market is wrongly painting all software stocks as casualties of AI. Many software companies have valuable customer data that will not move to public AI clouds, and some are productively adopting AI themselves. The sector currently trades as one, creating opportunity to pick undervalued winners among the so-called 'AI losers.' The speaker has been adding to software stocks.

Avoid IGV; it’s a dumb index.
IGV is a software index that indiscriminately bundles winners and losers in the age of AI. Many software companies will get crushed by AI, making the index unattractive. He believes you must separate AI-resistant software from AI-vulnerable ones, and IGV does not do that.
