What is this trend?

- Investors are punishing software stocks for AI commoditization fears, not just for weak results.
- Strong growth and margins can coexist with falling share prices when the market doubts durability.
- AI is shifting the story from feature upgrades to infrastructure that automates complex workflows.
- Scale matters more: broader enterprise networks can deepen moats and expand addressable markets.
- Analysts are hunting for mispriced leaders where AI looks additive rather than existential.
What’s the latest?
Even automation leaders posting double-digit growth are punished by a market gripped by AI disruption fears and technical headwinds.
