Why Software & Money Stocks Dumped
Sep 23, 2026
The creator discusses the recent downturn in software stocks, attributing it partly to the "Meta Muse" (likely referring to Meta's AI advancements) and a broader consumer spending pullback. He contrasts this with an earlier thesis from February that predicted a software rebound, which has since occurred but is now facing headwinds. The discussion touches on specific companies like Planet Fitness, New York Times, LPL Financial, Allstate, Schwab, Netflix, Travelers, Intuit, Sirius XM, and TripAdvisor, highlighting their recent declines. The creator also delves into the competitive landscape for design software, specifically mentioning Adobe, Figma, and Cloud, and analyzes Figma's financial performance.
