PLTR and APP Plunge! AI Software Trade Faces More Panic Selling?

The AI narrative just flipped. After Anthropic unveiled new automation tools aimed at legal workflows, U.S. software stocks suffered their worst selloff since April. A Goldman-tracked software index plunged 6%, while the Nasdaq 100 slid 1.6%, wiping out roughly $285B in market value across software, fintech, and asset managers. Are you bullish on Anthropic IPO? Will software continue? Buy-the-dip opportunity or not?

Software Selloff vs. Walmart $1T: Start of the “Software Death Loop”?

Software Stocks Crash as Walmart Hits $1 Trillion! Is this the biggest market shift of 2025? The market is showing a brutal split right now: Software stocks are getting crushed. While $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ just crossed a $1 trillion market cap, up ~14% YTD — outperforming Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon 1) What happened: software names got hit hard One of the biggest triggers behind this selloff is the market repricing how fast AI could disrupt parts of the software stack. After new developments around Anthropic’s Claude (and the broader narrative that AI tools can increasingly replace knowledge-work workflows), investors started questioning: How much of “software value” is truly defensible anymore? Damage report (single day): ~$285B market cap wiped out So

Think B) an overreaction that creates a buying opportunity. Recent trends show market section rotation and "AI won't replace software".

From my perspective, this isn’t “software is dead” — it’s the market aggressively repricing which software actually has a moat. The narrative flipped fast, and crowded positioning made the selloff look brutal. This feels more like fear-driven de-rating than fundamentals suddenly breaking. $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ hitting $1 trillion makes sense because AI is amplifying businesses with physical scale and operational complexity. AI turns Walmart’s logistics and supply chain into real profit leverage, while many software companies now have to prove they’re essential, not optional. So I lean toward B: this is an overreaction, not the end of software. But the

Investment Analysis: Is Anthropic Breaking the Software Business? Let's get real about this: Anthropic is legitimately shaking the foundations of the traditional software business, and the market's violent reaction over the past few days proves it. No sugarcoating—Claude Cowork's plugins (dropped on January 30) just triggered one of the ugliest sector sell-offs we've seen in years, wiping out an estimated $285 billion in combined market value from software, legal tech, professional services, and related names in a single brutal session, with the pain spilling into a second day.The numbers don't lie: Thomson Reuters plunged 15-18% (its worst single-day drop ever), RELX down 14%, Wolters Kluwer around 13%, LegalZoom getting hammered nearly 20%. Even broader plays like Sage, Pearson, Experian
The recent unveiling of Anthropic's new automation tools has indeed sent shockwaves through the software industry, leading to a significant selloff in U.S. software stocks. The $285 billion loss in market value is a substantial blow, and it's natural to wonder about the implications for the industry and Anthropic's potential IPO. Regarding the question of being bullish on Anthropic's IPO, it's essential to consider the company's innovative approach to automation and its potential to disrupt traditional legal workflows. If Anthropic can successfully execute its strategy and demonstrate significant revenue growth, it could be an attractive investment opportunity. As for the software industry as a whole, the current downturn might present a buy-the-dip opportunity for investors with a long-te

Software stocks are facing a survival challenge for AI, which is a structural revaluation of value.

The share price of traditional professional services/software companies such as Thomson Reuters, RELX and Wolters Kluwer have all gone down. Market interpretation: Previously, the market thought that AI would make these companies more efficient (lido); now, the market believes that if AI can directly help lawyers review contracts and prepare reports for accountants, who would need to subscribe to these expensive traditional software?

Palantir, Microsoft, Sandisk Short Sellers Pare Trading Volume $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$   short sellers pared their trading activities, before the company reported fourth quarter revenue and full year outlook that blew past analysts' estimates, sending shares climbing Tuesday.
