Software Just Had Its Best Day in a Year — Here's What to Buy Right Now Hosted by Bridget BennettApril 14, 2026 ShareLink copied to clipboard. Play video for Software Just Had Its Best Day in a Year — Here's What to Buy Right NowDetailsGuestsSoftware stocks just had their best day in over a year — and our analyst is breaking down exactly what is happening and what to do about it. One software giant surged more than ten percent to kick off the week, others are bouncing back strong, and the question every investor is asking right now is: is this the real rebound or just a head fake? He makes the case that software has been sold off way beyond what the fundamentals justify. Valuations are deeply depressed, share buybacks are accelerating, and earnings season is right around the corner with the potential to be a major catalyst. He walks through three software stocks he is loading up on right now — a blue chip infrastructure giant, an agentic AI powerhouse, and a speculative emergent tech play — and explains why the fear driving this selloff may be more misplaced than the market realizes. If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a signal, this might be it.Stocks Mentioned in This EpisodeCompanyMarketRank™Current PriceDividend YieldP/E RatioORCLOracle4.8695 of 5 stars$187.46-3.3%1.07%34.43CRMSalesforce4.9296 of 5 stars$174.10-1.9%1.01%22.49SOUNSoundHound AI2.977 of 5 stars$8.19-3.0%N/AN/A Compare These Stocks Add These Stocks to My Watchlist Bridget Bennett, HostDigital Media Producer, MarketBeatAlways the talker, Bridget Bennett turned her passion for people and sharing stories into a career in communications.
