Key Points
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that the rise of agentic AI is accelerating, but he doesn’t expect these AI agents to disrupt the software industry significantly. Instead, he believes that agentic AI will primarily utilize existing software tools rather than create new ones. This perspective was shared during Nvidia’s fourth-quarter results announcement on February 25, where the company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.62 on sales of $68.13 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $1.53 EPS on revenue of $66.21 billion.
The software sector has faced about $1.6 trillion in market capitalization losses due to fears of AI disruption, with companies like Salesforce, Adobe, and IBM being particularly hard hit. Huang argued that the bearish outlook on software stocks might be misplaced, suggesting that AI agents could ultimately enhance the demand for current software tools. Investors interested in the software sector may find opportunities among companies with strong competitive positions.
