  • Software Stocks Face AI Disruption as Industry Leaders Lose Ground
    January 20, 2026, 11:27 PM EST. Software stocks, once market darlings due to their high-growth and high-margin models, have suffered significant declines recently. The iShares Tech-Software ETF (IGV) soared from under $10 in 2011 to around $120 but has faced sharp pullbacks lately. Major players like UiPath (-84%), Paycom Software (-73%), The Trade Desk (-70%), and DocuSign (-65%) have seen their values plunge. The rise of advanced AI tools is seen as a key disruptor, cutting into software margins and transforming traditional models. DocuSign's return on equity slumped from 169% to 39%, reflecting market pressure. Some firms, such as Shopify, are embracing AI aggressively, deploying solutions like AI chatbots to support users. This highlights a split in the software sector between those disrupted and those adapting to the AI-driven environment.
