The Under-the-Radar AI Stock Smart Investors Are Loading Up On in 2026
2026-05-07 14:05:00 ET
One of the emerging trends in 2026 that has moved markets is the concerns over AI stocks that focus on software-as-a-service (SaaS).
Investors, particularly earlier in the year, began selling off these stocks for fear that advanced AI chatbots, notably Anthropic's Claude Cowork model, which rolled out in February, would replace and render useless the AI-driven software products and services that companies have developed in various niches. Terms like SaaSpocalypse and SaaSmageddon were tossed about as these software stocks saw share prices sink rapidly.
While some companies and products will likely be affected, the knee-jerk reaction cuts across pretty much all SaaS providers, even those that are not. They could even benefit from chatbots and AI models supporting their businesses.
