Software stocks staged a strong rebound last quarter after an earlier sell-off tied to concerns about artificial intelligence spending, while chip stocks cooled following a sharp rise in the first half of the year, CNBC reported.
According to the network, CNBC's Jim Cramer highlighted the shift, pointing to a rotation in investor sentiment away from semiconductor companies and back toward software firms.
CNBC reported that Cramer named specific software stocks he believes still have room to climb further, framing the sector's recovery as still in its early stages rather than fully priced in.
Market context
The report did not detail exact performance figures for either sector over the quarter, but characterized the move as a notable reversal from the dynamics that dominated markets earlier in the year, when chipmakers tied to AI infrastructure led gains while some software companies lagged amid worries that AI tools could erode demand for traditional software products.
The rotation described by CNBC reflects broader questions investors have been weighing about how artificial intelligence will reshape different corners of the technology sector, with several software companies positioning their own AI features as a growth driver rather than a threat.
