  • In the aftermath of the AI-fueled software plunge, JPMorgan makes the case for investors to buy the dip.
  • Analysts named several top stock picks that are positioned for dip buyers after the sell-off.
  • Microsoft, ServiceNow, and CrowdStrike are some of the stocks JPMorgan highlighted.

AI disruption fears sparked a tech sell-off last week, with the software sector getting slammed, but JPMorgan thinks the big drop has created an opportunity to buy the dip in a handful of stocks.

Analysts highlighted several software names they believe are well-positioned despite AI disruption concerns that have dragged the sector to “deeply pessimistic levels.”

“Within Technology, this perceived risk of disruption has driven sell-offs in both Quality and Speculative Growth Software names indiscriminately,” the analysts wrote.

The analysts say the reasons investors should buy the dip include:

  • Worst-case scenario for AI disruption in software is unlikely
  • There is a positive outlook for the broader tech space
  • Software-sector positioning is at extreme lows
  • Strong fundamentals, with valuations tumbling to the lows seen around last year’s Liberation Day
  • Software earnings are supportive

Here are some of JPMorgan’s “AI-Resilient” software stock picks that could weather renewed disruption fears.
