Software stocks gain after AI ROI concerns ease, Steve Hou notes
Software stocks lift earnings inflectors

Steve Hou highlights that software stocks are leading earnings inflectors even higher as markets move past the "AI ROI/DeepSeek 2.0" scare.

The sector’s performance suggests growing resilience following recent concerns about artificial intelligence return on investment and related disruptions.

Hou previously noted that some companies are opting to raise capital for capacity expansion instead of focusing on buybacks or dividends. He has also discussed the rise of Nvidia financing platforms and CME compute futures. The recent software sector gains come as these industry trends continue to shape company strategies.
