Cloud Stocks Stumble as AI Euphoria Lifts Other Tech Sectors

Key Takeaways

  1. Cloud software index drops 10% while Nasdaq rises 20% this year.
  2. Investors must shift focus from growth to value as cloud matures.
  3. Generative AI’s potential delayed, but high customer interest remains.

What Happened?

Cloud software companies have not joined the artificial intelligence (AI) rally that has boosted the broader stock market. While the Nasdaq Composite has risen over 20% this year, the BVP Nasdaq index of cloud software companies has dropped nearly 10%. This decline starkly contrasts with the pandemic-era peak and indicates a sector at a crossroads.

Companies like Salesforce, MongoDB, and Workday, which recently reported disappointing results, attribute the slump to ongoing economic weakness. However, Salesforce’s revenue growth, which has slowed to 10% after doubling to $36 billion over the past four years, suggests a maturing market.

Why It Matters?

The cloud sector’s maturity means investors should pivot from a growth-focused strategy to a value-oriented one. As AI technologies advance, they are expected to be integrated into business software, potentially reshaping the market. Yet, the immediate impact on sales has been limited. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff highlights the complexity of integrating AI, noting the significant challenges in training sales teams and redesigning workflows.

Despite negligible sales from AI services, customer interest is high, hinting at a delayed but potential AI dividend. The shift towards consumption-based pricing also poses risks and opportunities. If generative AI boosts productivity, companies might reduce staff, impacting per-seat subscription revenues but potentially benefiting from usage-based fees.

What’s Next?

Watch for cloud companies’ adaptation to AI technologies. The sector’s future hinges on whether these companies can quickly integrate AI into their offerings and prove its business value. Investors should monitor new pricing models and customer adoption rates closely. Also, pay attention to emerging “AI native” startups that might disrupt the market with innovative business models and services.

Salesforce’s advantage lies in its massive data repositories, but the speed of adaptation will be critical. As Wall Street remains cautious, the next few quarters will be pivotal in determining winners and losers in this evolving landscape.
