Major investment banks argue the market is 'dead wrong' on software disruption, as AI adopters see significant earnings boosts and margin expansion while software valuations have hit multi-year lows.

Key Takeaways

• 1.The 'AI vs. Software' displacement narrative is flawed; AI typically augments existing software functions and expands total addressable markets (TAM).
• 2.AI adopters are outperforming 'AI-disrupted' peers in earnings revisions and margin expansion.
• 3.Early AI benefits are skewed toward cost efficiency and margin improvement (74-90% of analysts) rather than immediate top-line revenue growth.
