Our Chief Fixed Income Strategist Vishy Tirupattur and U.S. Head of Credit Strategy Vishwas Patkar discuss the implications of private credit's exposure to the software industry.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Vishy Tirupattur: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. Vishwas Patkar: I'm Vishwas Patkar, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Head of Credit Strategy. Vishy Tirupattur: While potential disruption from AI has been a key driver for markets [in the] last few weeks, the focus of investor agenda has been in the software sector. On today's podcast, we will talk about software in the credit markets and its implications. It's Monday, March 2nd at 10am in New York. Vishwas, let's start by understanding how the exposure in software manifests in the credit markets. How does it compare to software, say, in the equity market? Vishwas Patkar: Yeah, so the software exposure in credit markets is large, and understandably that's why investors are closely watching what's happening with software in the equity market. But what's interesting and important for investors to note is the exposure in credit is very different from what it is in equities. So, for instance, a good chunk of exposure in the credit market is around private issuers. So, we estimate about 80 percent of companies are private in the whole sample set that we looked at. And that's largely a function of the fact that software is not a big part of the more liquid spaces like Investment Grade and High Yield. But it is heavily represented in the more opaque parts of the market, like leveraged loans, CLOs, and, you know, BDCs. So, our analysis found that about 25 percent of BDC portfolios are in software, closely followed by private credit CLOs. And leveraged loan market was about 16 percent. So, that's an important distinction to keep in mind versus the equity market. The second thing I would flag is – because the software sector grew a lot in the loan market through the LBO wave of 2020 and 2021, it has a weaker credit quality skew to it than the overall market. So about 50 percent of borrowers in the sector are rated B - or lower. So, that's the lowest rungs of the rating spectrum. Many of these software deals were underwritten with higher leverage than the broad market. And as a result of that you also have more front-loaded maturities in the sector, which brings the risks of refinancing, if some of this disruption persists. But Vishy, that's a nice segue to you. Over the past couple of years, you looked at the private credit market in depth and that's where I think the exposure we found is the highest in BDCs, you know, which is the public face of private credit. So, in your assessment, what is the risk of software to private credit, given all of the headlines that are popping up? Vishy Tirupattur: Public face of private credit – Vishwas, that's a great line. BDCs – business development corporations for those who are not familiar – are companies that invest in the debt of small and medium sized companies, sourced through non-bank channels. BDCs fund themselves through equity and debt issuance. So, if you look at the portfolios of BDCs to look at their exposure to software, there's a wide variation across the various BDC portfolios. What makes the assessment of these software risks in BDCs challenging is that many of these companies are private companies without the reporting obligations of public companies. So, no earnings reports, no 10-Ks or cues or broadly publicly available financials look at. So, in effect, these companies need to be re underwritten to evaluate which of these companies would be disrupted from AI; and which companies could actually benefit from AI and see their margins expand. So, in the context of BDCs, liability spreads are something we are watching closely. BDC liability spreads have widened but we think more needs to happen there. The clearing levels need to wait for the full resolution of the companies that benefit and that get hurt by disruption that is still awaited. So, we expect credit spreads of BDCs to remain volatile for some time to come. Vishwas Patkar: Okay. So, seems like this is a significant, or at least a non-trivial risk factor for credit markets, given the growth of the sector, leverage, the skew and quality. But Vishy, do you think this could be systemic for risk markets at large? Vishy Tirupattur: So, I do think that this is a significant risk, but I don't think it's a systemic risk. The amount of leverage in BDC is fairly small. About 2x is the kind of leverage. You compare that to the kind of leverage that existed in the financial system before the financial crisis – that's orders of magnitude smaller risk. And also the linkage to the banking system comes through the back leverage provided to the non-bank lenders. But this leverage is substantially risk remote with very high subordination levels. So, my conclusion here is this is a significant risk but not a systemic risk. So let me turn the same question to you, Vishwas. Taking on a sort of historical perspective as well as a macro perspective, how do you see this risk manifesting in the broader credit space? Vishwas Patkar: Yeah, so I would agree with you Vishy, that we need to see a valuation reset. We think spreads should go wider because of disruption concerns, even if they affect a relatively narrow part of the market. But a lot of that's happening against issuance that's rising. But I would say the risk of systemic concerns really emerging is relatively low. if you look at historical cycles where credit has been the weak link in the economy, those are typically characterized by a lot of corporate re-leveraging. So, think about the late 1990s or from 2004 to 2007 or the early 2000-teens. These are all cycles where corporates were being very aggressive, adding a lot of debt. And you know, when the economy slowed, credit became the source of some default and downgrade concerns. We haven't really seen that type of credit cycle play out at all in the past few years. If you look at corporate debt to GDP, for example, it's gone down each of the last five years. Balance sheet corporate leverage has been flat or actually gone lower in spots. M&A activity, which is usually a good indicator of corporate aggressiveness, still remains below trend. So, I think we have had a fairly restrained credit cycle where in place fundamentals are quite strong. And that's why I think the systemic contagion from any credit spread weakness, I think could be relatively muted. Vishy Tirupattur: So, the key takeaway from us is that software and credit is a significant risk but is not quite systemic risk. Thanks for listening.

Interview - Ben Worthy from Airbus Protect The current state of OT security and business resilience In this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, we sit down with Ben Worthy, OT Security Specialist at Airbus Protect, to explore the evolving landscape of business resilience in safety-critical sectors. With over 25 years of experience across aerospace, nuclear, water, oil & gas, and other industries, Ben shares insights on how organizations are adapting to the surge in disruptive cyberattacks—from ransomware targeting operational technology to GPS spoofing and supply chain incidents. We discuss major cases including the Boeing/LockBit ransom demand, the Jaguar Land Rover production shutdown, and the SITA passenger data breach, examining how aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors are separating safety risk from business continuity risk. Ben also breaks down the regulatory changes reshaping the industry, including EASA's October 2025 and February 2026 deadlines that tie cyber assurance directly to safety oversight, and what ENISA's latest numbers reveal about hacktivism and ransomware trends. Whether you're in aviation, nuclear, or any safety-critical sector, this conversation offers practical lessons on building resilience that keeps operations moving while addressing threats in real time.

"It's the right thing to do," so of course businesses will make their products secure, right? Well, it turns out that breaches and vulnerabilities don't traditionally hurt financial performance all that much. Stocks recover, insurance covers the bulks of the losses, fines are paid, and lawsuits are settled. Most businesses can comfortably absorb the impact, so the threat of reputational harm or financial losses just aren't slowing them down. In the case of Ivanti, where the reputational harm was extreme, the company's companies continue to get hacked as critical vulnerabilities keep getting discovered in their products. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-02-19/vpn-used-by-us-government-failed-to-stop-china-state-sponsored-hackers In this topic segment, we don't aim to provide solutions to this problem, just the awareness that ethics, doing the right thing, and even signing the Secure by Design pledge don't seem to be enough to change vendor behavior when it comes to securing products.

Foundations of Amateur Radio A little while ago I discussed a lovely article by programmer, artist, and game designer "blinry" called "Fifty Things you can do with a Software Defined Radio". This week it occurred to me that I could use their article as a framework to further explore my Bald Yak project. If you're unfamiliar, the Bald Yak project aims to create a modular, bidirectional and distributed signal processing and control system that leverages GNU Radio. For that to happen, I need a solid understanding of GNU Radio and its ecosystem. While I've been playing with it off and on for a decade or so, I have yet to build anything substantial for the simple reason that there was a puzzle piece missing. Last week I discovered it .. by accident. One of the fundamental things I'm attempting to achieve is the creation of a system that doesn't care which radio device you're using. In case you're wondering, I'm doing this because there is a proliferation of device specific software that cannot keep up with the influx of new hardware, doesn't consider the growing use of network connected radios, forced by increased RF noise levels in many communities across the world, not to mention, connecting increasingly expensive computing hardware to lightning rods. If everything goes to plan, it should be possible to use the project with any radio device. This is easier said than done. In GNU Radio this complex issue is addressed by having different blocks that represent different devices. You'll find receiver specific source blocks and equivalent sink blocks representing transmitters. While that's all fine and usable, it means that if I were to publish, say an FM receiver flowgraph, essentially a collection of blocks representing software that implements an FM receiver, I have to decide how I want to deal with the specific device. Do I select an RTL-SDR dongle as the device in my flowgraph and let you figure out how to make it work on the HackRF or the PlutoSDR sitting in your shack, or do I make it completely hardware agnostic, requiring you to wire it all together for your specific situation? Neither is desirable, or simple. Added to this is the problem that trying to make this work using a traditional analogue radio would cause more issues, since there isn't a Yaesu FT-857d block, nor is there one for an Icom IC-7400, let alone something from last century. Someone with some GNU Radio experience might point out that there are source and sink blocks for an audio device, which would allow you to plug one of those radios into a sound card and access the receiver, or transmitter, that way. While that would work, it requires that the radio is physically connected to a computer that's running GNU Radio. It would also give you all manner of headaches attempting to change frequency in the same way as you could using an RTL-SDR dongle. There are several ways to get remote radio control working across a network. For example, using 'rigctld' and 'Hamlib', we can change frequency on over 300 analogue radios, but even if you do, you'll discover that getting the audio across the network creates a whole range of new issues, not to mention that GNU Radio doesn't talk to Hamlib compatible radios. This is why many remote radio solutions are implemented as remote desktop sessions to a computer that is physically connected to the radio. While attempting to solve a completely unrelated challenge last week, I came across 'SoapySDR', described as a vendor and platform neutral SDR support library. Essentially it's a project that allows an application to interact with different devices without needing to support individual radios. This allows an application developer to write their software to support SoapySDR and from then on benefit from its ability to talk to lots of radios in a variety of different ways. For example, one of the in-built features is called 'SoapyRemote' which allows you to connect to a SoapySDR radio and interact with it across a network. Specifically, you can send and receive, as well as control the radio, essentially bundling together both the audio and control signals. SoapySDR also includes a tool called 'soapy-audio'. While documentation is sparse, it appears to support Hamlib, which means that you can, at least theoretically, connect a low powered computer, like for example a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero, to your analogue radio and access and control it across the network. Best part? It's supported by GNU Radio and many other applications. I've started creating a repository with the "Fifty Things you can do with a Software Defined Radio", one directory per thing, that will contain the bits needed to run inside GNU Radio and across the network to any SoapySDR compatible hardware. Now, before you get as excited as I am, there's a few hurdles. I'm not yet sure of the status of soapy-audio, but it looks promising. I have the bits sitting on my computer and I'm working through them. For example, I'm not sure if the current implementation supports transmit. I also have anecdotal evidence that Hamlib support is incomplete, but I don't yet know to what extent. I anticipate some coding in my future. I suspect it will be the equivalent of building a new SoapySDR module, but time will tell. I can tell you that I'm running an RTL-SDR dongle connected to a low-power computer and I can connect to it across the network with GNU Radio on my workstation and run a proof of concept FM receiver flowgraph. There's no reason for either computer to be in the same room, let alone the same country. You'll find the project on my VK6FLAB GitHub page. I plan to work my way through the 50 items and discover what I don't know about GNU Radio. Feel free to play along. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

When Dave Mabe backtested his strategy, it outperformed his own discretionary trading — and changed how he approached everything. In this episode, we discuss gapping breakouts, expectancy, systematic trading, drawdowns, and the reality gap between backtests and live execution. A practical conversation for traders serious about building durable edge. In this episode, we explore: ·        How Dave got introduced to markets: From early exposure to investing through his family to actively seeking more control over his capital and moving from swing trading into day trading. ·        Why rules matter: The transition from discretionary decisions to systematic frameworks — and why trading without a process is a fast path to inconsistency. ·        Backtesting as a “superpower”: What backtesting really does for strategy development and confidence in your edge. ·        Reconciling backtests with real life: Practical realities of execution, slippage, and market structure — and how to build a feedback loop so your live results get closer to your imulations. ·        Drawdowns and mindset: How to handle periods where a strategy doesn't behave as expected, and why many traders quit in drawdowns rather than at all-time highs. ·        Scaling a trading business: The difference between scaling size versus scaling breadth — and why uncorrelated strategies matter. ·        Practical first step for systematic traders: How to start adding structure to your trading with backtesting, even if you're not a programmer.   About the guest:   Dave has been a professional trader and technologist for over two decades. As a former CTO of Trade-Ideas, he has unique experience at the intersection of algorithm design, real-time market data, and automated execution. Outside trading, he writes a popular daily newsletter on backtesting and systematic strategy development, and hosts the Line Your Own Pockets podcast focused on systematic approaches to markets.

On Wall Street, it's a showdown between hardware and software: As the rise of AI proves once again this week, it will continue to reshape the future of our economy. February was a volatile month, driven largely by growing investor anxiety about the long-term impact of artificial intelligence. Software stocks are currently experiencing a significant sell-off, driven by fears that AI tools from companies like Anthropic will disrupt traditional "Software-as-a-Service" (SaaS) business models for major players such as Microsoft, Adobe, and Salesforce. Lou Basenese—Executive Vice President of Market Strategy at Prairie Operating Company and a FOX News Contributor—joins FOX Business Network host Taylor Riggs to discuss how AI disrupted the markets this month, the standoff between Anthropic and the Pentagon, and the latest economic data regarding mortgage rates and inflation. Plus, Lou and Taylor discuss a surprising new trend: companies marketing makeup to... six-year-olds. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Less Annoying CRM is soft launching two major features we've been working on for months. This episode dives into that and a bunch of other stuff.

Today's show is all about digging into value, which often can be found in the scariest portions of the stock market. Of late, nothing has been scarier than the wash-out in software stocks, but in the Market Call, Adam Peck, co-founder of Riverwater Partners, says that the "massacre in the software space" has made it that the software sector is now a value priced sector for the first time in two decades. With a lot of software stocks with double-digit free cash flow yields, Peck says, making software "one of the most interesting areas of the market." The software companies troubles have spilled over into the realm of business-development companies, many of which have made loans to software companies that, in theory, could be troubled if artificial intelligence replaces the need for software as a service. Behind the theory that software companies will struggle to pay debts as artificial intelligence renders their products less useful and attractive, there are been some scary, well-publicized issues with a few BDCs. John Cole Scott, president of CEF Advisors, digs into the math that is impacting the lenders and BDCs in general. Scott, who also serves as chairman of the Active Investment Company Alliance, shows how the headlines could be creating values that make the industry more attractive, not less, for investors who understand and measure the risk.  Plus, Columbia University finance professor Ehsan Ehsani discusses his new book, "Finding Value in Numbers: The Essential Investing Toolkit to Win on Wall Street," which helps investors follow value-oriented strategies in all market conditions.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross breaks down the so-called “SaaSpocalypse” after $1 trillion in SaaS market cap vanished in a single week. While headlines scream that “AI will replace SaaS,” Ross argues the reality is far more nuanced. He introduces a three-part framework ; Exposed, Embedded, Evolved , and outlines the strategic shifts founders and marketers must make to survive and compound in the age of AI agents. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The $1 Trillion Wake-Up Call -SaaS stocks were crushed in early 2026, triggering fear across markets. -AI agents, LLM advancements, and disappointing earnings accelerated the correction. -The dominant narrative says AI will replace SaaS , but the situation is more complex. -Market fear is loud. Structural change is quieter, but very real. 2.AI Agents, Vibe Coding & the Death of Per-Seat Pricing? -AI agents interacting directly with APIs challenge traditional SaaS interfaces. -“Vibe coding” demonstrates how quickly software can now be replicated. -Per-seat pricing models are under pressure as automation scales output. -The interface is shifting from dashboards to conversations. 3.The Data Reality Most People Ignore -Global SaaS spending is projected to grow from $318B (2025) to $500B+ (2028). -Enterprise contracts and deep dependencies don't disappear overnight. -Pricing models may change. Market leaders may change. -Software demand isn't vanishing, it's evolving. 4.The Extinction Stack: Exposed, Embedded, Evolved -SaaS companies fall into three survival tiers. -Not all SaaS companies face equal risk. -Your future depends on depth of integration and data moat. -Operators must identify where they sit, now. 5.Type 1: The Exposed -Horizontal point solutions with weak moats and low switching costs. -Easily replicated with AI tools in days or weeks. -Rely on habit rather than proprietary advantage. -Most vulnerable to margin compression and churn. 6.Type 2: The Embedded -Deeply integrated systems of record inside enterprises. -Painful and complex to replace due to migration risk. -The risk isn't extinction ,it's interface disruption. -Must become AI-first before agents abstract them away. 7. Type 3: The Evolved -AI-native or aggressively AI-integrated platforms. -Built on proprietary data, regulatory moats, and deep user memory. -AI increases the value of their data advantage. -Positioned not just to survive, but accelerate. 8.Distribution Is the New Defensive Moat -AI can replicate features. It cannot replicate trust. -Brand equity, audience relationships, and distribution compound. -As product development gets cheaper, distribution becomes the advantage. -This is the moment to double down on quality and amplification. 9.From Time-Based to Outcome-Based Thinking -Per-seat and time-based pricing models face structural pressure. -The future favors outcome-driven pricing and accountability. -Buyers will demand measurable impact, not access. -Service businesses must shift from hours sold to results delivered. 10. Intentional AI vs Fear-Based AI -Two types of teams are emerging: intentional adopters and reactive adopters. -AI without process creates noise, not leverage. -10,000 mediocre AI assets won't move the needle. -10 strategic, AI-enabled assets can change a business trajectory. —

Harry Gestetner built a creator economy platform in college, sold it, and walked away. Then he did the one thing nobody expected. He jumped back in and started building hardware.In this episode, the founder and CEO of Orion (a sleep tech company making smart mattress covers) sits down to talk about what really happens after an exit, why most founders can't stay away from building, and what changes when you go from software to physical products.Harry shares what surprised him about the acquisition process, how he thinks about evaluating new startup ideas, and why he believes hardware is "life on hard mode." He also gets into the mental side of founding, from managing stress to staying sharp when everything feels uncertain.What You'll Walk Away WithGoing through an exit sounds like the finish line, but Harry explains why it's actually a reset. You trade ownership and freedom for financial security, and at some point, most founders start craving the creative control they gave up.Not every idea deserves your time. Harry talks about running new concepts through a "disqualification period" where you actively try to poke holes before committing. The ones that survive that process are worth going all in on.Hardware changes the game. Software lets you pivot fast. Hardware gives you 18 month product cycles, inventory headaches, and supply chain complexity. Conviction has to be higher before you start.The best startup ideas come from problems you and your friends actually have. If enough people share that problem, you've got a market.Knowledge compounds across startups. Harry compares the founder journey to an elastic band. Once you've been stretched, you never go back to your original form. Every challenge you survive makes the next one more manageable.Timestamped Highlights[00:34] What Orion actually does and how it makes six hours of sleep feel like ten[03:01] The emotional arc of an exit that nobody talks about, from relief to restlessness[05:34] How Harry evaluates startup ideas and why he uses a disqualification process[09:30] Why building hardware is "life on hard mode" and what made him take it on anyway[10:39] The elastic band theory of founder growth and why learning compounds over time[15:49] His advice for early career founders: pick one thing and go all inWords That Stuck"As a founder, you're sort of like an elastic band. The more you get stretched, you never go back to the original form."Tactical TakeawaysRun every new idea through a disqualification period. Actively look for reasons it won't work before you commit. The ideas that survive that scrutiny are the ones worth building.Build around problems you personally experience. If your friends share the same frustration, there's a good chance others do too. That's your market signal.If you're going to start something, go all in. Stop hedging across multiple projects. Pick one idea and dedicate yourself to it completely until it works.Keep Up With The ShowIf this episode hit home, share it with a founder or someone thinking about taking the leap.

What exactly are LPs buying when they allocate to venture today and do they still believe in it?In this episode, Andreas sits down with Max Bray and Juliet Bailin, both Venture Partners at Kindred Capital VC to unpack what's really happening beneath the fundraising headlines.Max brings the raw perspective of trying to raise a first-time fund in 2025 with unicorn-founder GPs, strong angel track records, and still struggling to secure second meetings.Juliet brings the sharper counterpoint: LP frustration isn't always ignorance. Sometimes it's a rational response to how venture has been practiced, especially around transparency, liquidity discipline, and the unrealistic expectation that a GP should be world-class at everything.This is a conversation about:LP behavior in uncertain cyclesThe myth of the “full-stack investor”Why solo GP economics are brutalWhether software still needs ventureAnd why the fund model is splitting at the extremesNot hot takes.

Newer AI tools have begun to act less like “a souped up search engine and more of a junior staffer” observes one industry watcher.  Software developers are deploying Claude Code. Small business people are using AI to work out logistics. At home, people are deploying AI to organize to-do lists, plan vacations, and create meal plans. But what are the risks?  We talk about how AI is evolving, and how to think about the ethics of using these tools.

There is a question that sounds almost embarrassingly simple. After a vulnerability is discovered in a piece of widely used software — something like Log4Shell, which shook the security world and left hundreds of thousands of organizations exposed overnight — the question organizations scrambled to answer was this: where is this code, and what does it touch? Most couldn't answer it. Not the Fortune 500 companies. Not the government agencies. Not the critical infrastructure operators. Not the hospitals or the banks or the utilities. They had built and bought mountains of software over years and decades, and when the moment came to understand what was actually inside it, they were effectively blind. That gap is exactly what Daniel Bardenstein set out to close when he co-founded Manifest Cyber in 2023. And in a conversation on ITSPmagazine's Brand Highlight series, he made a case for technology transparency that is hard to argue with — not because it's technically complex, but because the analogy he draws is so strikingly obvious once you hear it. "If you want to buy a house, you get to go inside the house, do the home inspection," he said. "You want to buy food from the grocery store — you can look at the ingredients. Even our clothes tell you what they're made of, how to care for them, and where they're from." But software? The technology running hospital MRI machines, weapon systems, financial infrastructure, water delivery? No transparency required. No ingredient label. No inspection rights. Just trust. That trust, as Log4Shell demonstrated, is a vulnerability in itself. Bardenstein came to this problem with credentials that few founders in the space can claim. Before starting Manifest, he spent four and a half years in the US government leading large-scale cyber programs and serving as technology strategy lead at CISA — the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. He saw firsthand how defenders are perpetually at a disadvantage, operating without the basic visibility they need to do their jobs. His mission became building the tools to change that. The problem, he's quick to point out, has not improved in the years since Log4Shell. Software supply chain attacks have multiplied — XZ Utils, NPM Polyfill, and others following the same pattern: trusted software becomes the attack vector, and it spreads fast. Meanwhile, most security teams are still operating with SCA tools that generate noisy, overwhelming alerts and vendor risk programs built on Excel spreadsheets and questionnaires rather than actual empirical data about the security of what they're buying. "Security teams have a false sense of security," Bardenstein said. The gap between what organizations think they know and what they actually know about their software supply chains remains dangerously wide. Manifest Cyber addresses this across the full lifecycle. For organizations that build software, the platform maps every open source dependency, assesses it for risk, and ensures developers can write more secure code without losing velocity. For organizations that buy software — which is everyone — it finds risks before procurement, then continuously monitors every third party component so that when something breaks, they know the blast radius in seconds, not weeks. The timing matters. Regulation is catching up to the problem. The EU AI Act, the Cyber Resilience Act, and a growing body of global policy are beginning to demand exactly the kind of software supply chain transparency that Manifest is built to provide. Organizations that wait to build this capability will find themselves scrambling to comply — those that build it in now will have it as a competitive advantage. The ingredient label for software has always been missing. Manifest Cyber is writing it. ________________________________________________________________ Marco Ciappelli interviews Daniel Bardenstein, CEO & Co-Founder of Manifest Cyber, for ITSPmagazine's Brand Highlight series.

Markets digest a wave of earnings as volatility lingers and NVIDIA struggles to hold gains. Why NVIDIA's pullback matters and what it could mean for the broader AI trade. Results roll in from Block, Dell, Intuit, Autodesk, CoreWeave, Flutter and Zscaler, shaping sentiment across payments, enterprise tech and infrastructure. Saira Malik, Chief Investment Officer at Nuveen, argues that four forces are driving volatility: trade policy, central bank leadership, AI disruption and developments in the Middle East. She explains why earnings must do the heavy lifting as elevated valuations limit upside and why fixed income fundamentals remain solid even as defaults tick higher. Bradley Tusk of Tusk Ventures joins to discuss where VC is placing its money in tech. Aneesha Sherman of Bernstein explains why TJX's experiential model may protect its premium multiple and outlines her $175 price target. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is AI killing software stocks — or creating the buying opportunity of the decade? Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz review: Since peaking in September 2025, the software ETF (IGV) has crashed 30% while semiconductors (SMH) surged 30% and broad tech stayed flat. The market is pricing in a "SaaSpocalypse" — the idea that generative AI will make traditional SaaS companies obsolete. But is that narrative right?

Patrick McKenzie (patio11) and Luke Farrell examine the structural "technical imagination" gap that prevents the US government from delivering high-fidelity digital services. They discuss why states routinely pay full price 29 times for the same buggy codebase, why failure is the default outcome, and why rooms full of government administrators cannot muster the expertise to say a two line code change should be trivial. They also discuss Luke's work on the "means testing industrial complex,” why the government redundantly pays a private vendor to do a SQL query for information the IRS already knows, and what vendors would say about their own discontents.–Full transcript available here: http://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/understanding-government-procurement-with-luke-farrell/–Presenting Sponsors: Mercury &  FramerIf you have more interesting hobbies than managing your money, Mercury Personal is built for you.

Kevin Green says Nvidia (NVDA) experienced a trend seen over the last several quarters with the stock selling off soon after markets opened Thursday. He explains why the trend persists even after the Mag 7 giant posted great earnings. One surprising part of the market gaining on Nvidia's sell-off: software, with KG noting potential for stocks in the sector to find their footing. He later turns to the latest price action in crude oil. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Rob Slaughter Rob Slaughter, CEO and co-founder of Defense Unicorns, discusses the modernization of the Department of War and the company’s role in facilitating technology integration with Don Witt of the Channel Daily News, a TR publication. Rob and Don comment on the modernization focusing on technology advancements and AI applications. They discussed how the nature of warfare has changed, transitioning from traditional systems to autonomous drones and other advanced technologies. Rob explained that the rapid pace of technological development means that outdated capabilities are no longer acceptable in modern conflicts. Don then asks Rob Slaughter about their platform solution UDS. Rob explains that UDS enables faster integration of modern software and AI solutions into military systems. Rob explained that UDS can integrate with both legacy and modern systems, significantly reducing the time needed for technology deployment compared to traditional methods. They discussed the challenges of deploying technology to the government and how Defense Unicorns helps streamline the process, making it easier for companies to contribute to national defense. This holds true for enterprise software as well. About: Defense Unicorns was created by people who knew firsthand how desperately the people protecting our world needed software that could move as fast as the threat. At the time it was impossible. They imagined a solution that could update in minutes, be CVE-free as a baseline, and thrive in air-gapped and edge environments. And then they built it. Defense Unicorns was officially founded, building on their deep experience delivering software in air-gapped, mission-critical environments. After helping stand up Platform One and Big Bang, the team began aligning real-world services work with product R&D—starting with Zarf, an air-gap-native delivery tool. This product-led approach, grounded in the needs of mission operators, drove early growth. For more information go to: https://defenseunicorns.com

Software default rates could hit double digits as AI disruption spreads and loans come due, according to Bain Capital. “We’re going to see real stress,” said Angelo Rufino, the firm’s head of special situations in North America and corporate special situations in Europe. “We will see a full credit cycle as the reckoning really comes to resize capital structures to the earnings power of these business models,” he tells Bloomberg News’ James Crombie and Bloomberg Intelligence’s David Havens in this episode of the Credit Edge podcast. They also discuss investment-grade private credit, data center debt and asset-based finance, including the rise of music-royalty deals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Juan Manuel de los Reyes y Andre Dos Santos analizan una jornada donde la macro, la geopolítica y los resultados corporativos confluyen en un mismo mensaje: el mercado está recalibrando sus expectativas en tiempo real. El episodio abre con los datos de solicitudes por desempleo y lo que implican para el escenario de la Reserva Federal, antes de moverse a Ginebra, donde arranca la tercera ronda de negociaciones nucleares entre Washington y Teherán con un ultimátum de Trump sobre la mesa. De ahí, los hosts se concentran en Nvidia, que entregó uno de los reportes más sólidos de su historia y cuya reacción en el mercado fue, sorprendentemente, tibia, y cierran con Salesforce, que llega a resultados cargando el peso del "Black Tuesday for Software" y la pregunta de si su modelo de negocio sobrevive a la era de los agentes de IA.El hilo conductor es claro, los datos buenos ya no generan euforia, y cada guidance se lee hoy como una declaración de supervivencia frente a la inteligencia artificial.

SAASTR 843: Software Stocks Have Massively Crashed. Here's What Founders Need to Know.  SaaStr founder and CEO Jason Lemkin joins the TBPN show for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of SaaS, AI, and venture capital.
