Oracle, Adobe rally as AI peace hopes lift battered software sector down 23% YTD

Software stocks rallied on hopes for a US-China trade deal, with Oracle and Adobe leading gains. However, the sector remains under pressure this year amid fears that AI tools from OpenAI and Anthropic could enable customers to build software faster and potentially displace vendors. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF is down over 23% year-to-date, with average sales multiples falling from 9x to 6x. A record $25 billion in software-sector leveraged loans now trade at distressed levels, raising concerns about private credit markets where the sector is a major borrower. Some firms are monetising AI successfully — ServiceNow's Now Assist product reached $600 million in annual contract value in Q4 2025. Yet deteriorating valuations could trigger a credit crisis through "shadow defaults" and forced fund withdrawals, with potential spillover to banks increasingly exposed to private credit.
