A Surprising Number of Survivors from the “SaaS Apocalypse”! Seven Months After the AI Shock, Numerous Software Companies Are Making a Strong Recovery
Seven months after the panic over the “demise of SaaS,” a major reversal has occurred. Salesforce’s strong performance has become a turning point in market sentiment, driving significant gains in software stocks such as Okta (up 86% year-to-date) and CrowdStrike. The market is reassessing AI’s impact on SaaS: companies with genuine professional moats, data assets, and complex solutions are difficult for AI to replace, while low-barrier, easily replicable SaaS offerings continue to face pressure, further intensifying industry divergence.

SaaS Strikes Back! Has Wall Street’s “AI Will Eat Software” Thesis Collapsed?
① The bearish narrative surrounding the software industry is quietly showing cracks, prompting many investors to consider whether the most intense phase of selling has come to an end. ② Last week, after Salesforce, a bellwether for the software sector, reported exceptionally strong earnings, the year-to-date return on the iShares S&P North American Technology Software ETF (IGV) turned positive from negative.
Take Salesforce as an example: AI is transforming software pricing models.
Salesforce allows customers to pay based on business outcomes—moving beyond mere task计量 to a model where it charges $2 only after helping the client earn $20. OpenAI, Sierra, and others are also adopting this "pay upon task completion" approach. However, outcome-based pricing carries inherent attribution risks: should performance be credited to AI or to marketing efforts? This pricing experiment will determine whether established software giants can successfully reinvent themselves amid the AI wave.

NVIDIA's market capitalization increased by $442 billion on Thursday, marking the second-largest single-day gain for an individual stock in history.

This rise in market value was surpassed only by Microsoft's $450 billion single-day market cap increase less than a month ago. Thursday's rally was driven by NVIDIA's previously released strong performance guidance, which alleviated investor concerns about a potential slowdown in AI-related growth momentum and indicated that the AI growth trend remains robust. In their analysis of the guidance, institutional investors noted that NVIDIA's "stunning" outlook implies over $100 billion in potential upside relative to current market expectations. JPMorgan stated that although NVIDIA's performance forecast far exceeded expectations, the guidance might still be conservative, as the company "explicitly indicated that the current outlook is constrained by
