Is AI starting to threaten software stocks? $MSFT $CRM $NOW
New worries on Wall Street suggest that artificial intelligence could fundamentally disrupt traditional software companies. Investors are starting to reassess the valuations of firms like Microsoft, Salesforce and ServiceNow, because AI tools are gradually taking over the tasks these companies have long profited from.

Portfolio under the microscope: "SaaSocalypse" — reality or overblown panic? ☁️📉
The recent sell-off in SaaS stocks has revived the "SaaSocalypse" narrative. Personally, I view the market's current reaction as markedly overblown.
Markets tend to swing between euphoria and fear — and right now sentiment is clearly on the latter side. Some concerns are valid, but a broad sell-off...

📉 Software sector under heavy pressure
Sector Technology – Software is currently taking a solid hit and most well-known names have dropped by tens of percent:
👉 And it's not just these big players — for example Duolingo ($DUOL) is about -45% year-to-date and is at the lowest levels since 2023.
👉 What's behind this?
- higher interest rates → pressure on growth stock valuations

If companies, as @lucasm wrote, can leverage AI, implement it into their products and then monetize it, they will profit significantly. The start of this year has unfortunately been quite merciless for these stocks.
But I think this offers investors a lot of opportunities. If you manage to buy a solid company, over the course of several years its shares could be tens of percent higher thanks to the current declines.
Shares of $CRM have fallen by more than 30% over the past year, and many investors see this as an interesting opportunity. I also personally think the current valuation is attractive, but the question remains whether these companies can recover in the long term or whether AI will gradually replace them.
What do you think — does $CRM have a chance to make a comeback, or has AI...

I had it on my watchlist for about half a year, but I decided not to open a position for one reason — I didn’t like the momentum, which later proved to be true. From a longer-term perspective, though, that momentum doesn’t play a role. It’s not that important whether analysts suspect something or not — their predictions create momentum, and that determines the direction and momentum of the stock price in the short term.

In my opinion, it’s also about adapting to the new environment — meaning that if they can integrate AI into existing modules (see M365), it might not threaten them that much. Documents will still be written in .doc and presentations created in .ppt. The user simply won’t have to type/create for long; AI will do that for them. Also, I see a problem in migrating large companies’ operations from existing CRM platforms, etc., to a purely AI-based system.
