Intro

While investors have been piling into Nvidia and AI infrastructure, the narrative for Enterprise SaaS has shifted to "all-out destruction." The fear? That AI will disrupt legacy software. The reality? A circular reasoning trap that has crushed valuations and created potential opportunities for patient investors.<br>In this episode, we analyze the current state of the software market, using Adobe (ADBE) and Monday.com (MNDY) as prime examples. We discuss why the "R&D Holiday" of the 2010s is officially over, why profit margins are compressing as companies spend heavily to integrate AI, and why Adobe’s recent $1.9B acquisition of SEMrush signals a new phase of competition.<br>We also break down why—despite the doom and gloom—revenue growth remains consistent and why this sector sell-off might be the time to start "bottom feeding."<br>Join us on Discord with Semiconductor Insider, sign up on our website: www.chipstockinvestor.com/membership<br>Supercharge your analysis with AI!
