AI disruption hits software companies, but finances stay resilient

While software stocks have fallen sharply, major vendors such as Salesforce and Workday have continued to show financial strength, according to WSJ Markets.

AI-driven disruption is weighing on software-company sentiment, with shares for some prominent players declining even as investors react to the threat.

WSJ Markets reports that companies including Salesforce and Workday have nonetheless demonstrated financial resilience, suggesting the impact is unfolding more slowly than many feared.

The outlet points to continued strength at these firms even after steep share selloffs, underscoring a divergence between stock-market pressure and underlying performance.
