Software stocks, once left in the dust, have bounced back in recent months as high-flying chip stocks take a back seat.
"One of the things that was greatly overstated earlier this year was the death of software," Brian Mulberry, Zacks Investment Management chief market strategist, told Yahoo Finance on Tuesday.
"In order to engage with these AI tools … you need software to customize those tools for your business, " he said.
The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) is up 15% over the past three months and more than 40% higher from its April lows. Among individual movers, Microsoft (MSFT) and Palantir (PLTR) are both up 30%, while Salesforce (CRM) has risen more than 50% since mid-June.
In comparison, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) is down 17% over the three-month period, according to Yahoo Finance's AlphaSpace chart.

An option contract's price rarely moves for just one reason. The stock shifts, time keeps passing, expectations for volatility rise and fall, and interest rates maintain their influence in the background. All of that gets folded into the cost of the contract, known as its premium. This makes it hard to tell which force actually moved the number on your screen.
The options Greeks can help you solve that problem. Each one estimates how an option's value would respond to a change in one input, such as the stock price, time, or volatility, with the others held constant.
Let's follow a real contract to see how. Nvidia (NVDA) is one of the most actively traded stocks in the options market, which makes its chain a useful place to watch these numbers work. The stock was trading at $212.26 at the time, so we picked a $215 call expiring in 29 days.

Amazon (AMZN) shares are in a late-summer funk, and it's getting uglier by the day.
Shares of the tech beast have now tanked by about 11% from August's all-time high. With the 2% decline on Tuesday, the stock finished the session below its key 100-day moving average per Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace data.
The stock has underperformed the S&P 500 (^GSPC) this year, rising 10% compared to a 12% advance for the benchmark index.
Two factors may be at play in driving the pullback in Amazon.
For starters, on Tuesday, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 22 states filed a lawsuit alleging that Amazon's advertising practices have overcharged its roughly 1.2 million advertisers by $20 billion from 2019 to the present.

Good morning. Stocks slipped in early trading on Tuesday as long-dated bond yields rose and speculation of a rate hike this year grew.
Oil prices (CL=F) jumped after President Trump vowed to hit Iran "hard," stoking fears that above-target inflation will follow on the heels of a strong earnings season and prompt Federal Reserve officials to tighten monetary policy.
The 10-year Treasury (^TNX) yield hit its highest level since January 2025.

So I am hanging out on Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace on Wednesday morning, a few minutes after calling out ******* 's Sporting Goods (DKS) on Instagram for its horrific earnings day this week.
I randomly check the stock price of fellow big box retailer Target (TGT), only to find it had an ugly session the day before. It caught my attention because the broader market had hung in there, and I didn't see any ******* yst downgrades on Target.
I then came across something on Target with the word "backlash" in it.
"What the ******* did this company do now?" I muttered to myself.
It wasn't hard to find out. Target apologized this week for selling a kids' circus clown Halloween costume that critics said evoked racist minstrel imagery. The orange-and-black costume, which included gloves, a top hat, and a mask resembling a smiling mouth with large teeth, was removed from the website, but not before consumers took Target to task.

Shares of the beverage giant are trading at a record high, up 32% year to date alone.

While ******* e's stock has bubbled up, Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta (META) is down by 15%, and Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) is off by 22% (the latter being the worst-performing Magnificent Seven member in 2026).
Score one for the expense-watching middle managers at ******* e — a completely different approach than the likes of Meta (aggressively building massive AI data centers) and Tesla (aggressively building robots and robotaxis).
The investment thesis at ******* e has been a classic case of an old-school consumer-products business being reinvented, with a heavy dose of cost cuts and safe-haven appeal in an uncertain world.

The rally in Circle (CRCL) stock could just be starting.
The call: With bitcoin (BTC-USD) prices coming back to life as the Treasury injects liquidity into the bond market, Circle shares have been rocking. The stock is up 23% in the past five days and trading at its highest level since mid-June, per Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace data.
Bernstein ***** yst Gautam Chhugani reiterated his Outperform rating on the stock and set a $140 price target in a note on Monday, implying at least 75% upside.
Chhugani outlined three main bullish points on Circle:
"We believe the recent momentum in crypto markets can be enduring, and we could be at the beginning of a new expansion cycle driven by macro regime change, real-world blockchain capital markets, stablecoin payments adoption (not just crypto) and some nascent signs of a stablecoin-led agentic economy."

When Nvidia (NVDA) reports its must-read earnings on Wednesday evening, it will confront this frustrating reality.
Strong earnings reports haven't been too kind to Nvidia's stock of late.
Nvidia stock has fallen in response to earnings in six of the past eight quarters, including the last four, per Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace ****** ysis.
The reality is that the market is positioned for the company to post something great and for CEO Jensen Huang to sound super bullish on the earnings call.
The market also knows there is minimal downside risk to Nvidia's growing investment portfolio, given the rising valuations (see Anthropic (ANTH.PVT), for example) being afforded to most privately held names in artificial intelligence.

A screaming buying opportunity may exist in AMD (AMD) after a post-earnings sell-off earlier this month.
Raymond James ******* yst Simon Leopold upgraded his rating on AMD to Strong Buy from Outperform in a new note on Tuesday. He lifted his price target to $641 from $565, which ******* umes neatly 40% upside from current price levels.
The new price target puts Leopold above the average price target of his peers at $613, per Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace data. About 72% of Wall Street ******* ysts that cover AMD rate the stock a Strong Buy or Buy.
AMD stock rose 5% in afternoon trading in response.

Incoming Apple (AAPL) CEO John Ternus will have a tall order to fill when he enters the same chief executive class as outgoing CEO Tim Cook.
And one clever new number compiled by Bank of America ******* yst Wamsi Mohan shows what Ternus is up against: $32 million.
According to Mohan's calculations, Apple's market cap has grown at a rate of roughly $32 million per hour, every hour, for nearly 15 years, for a total of $4.5 trillion under Cook.
Apple's market capitalization has climbed to $4.5 trillion from around $350 billion during Cook's time as CEO, according to Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace ******* ysis.
"Tim Cook took Apple from a company driven by a small number of product cycles into an institution capable of producing growth, cash flow, customer loyalty, and innovation at enormous scale and SKU complexity," Mohan said.
