AI application software lagging behind hardware

Conviction: 58% · Horizon: 18M · 2026-06-12
Capital may rotate from AI hardware into application-layer companies

Investor attention is concentrated in AI hardware, leaving selected application-layer companies pressured by sentiment rather than company-specific deterioration. If market focus broadens, software and applied-AI names could benefit from renewed capital flows.

Instrument Side Target Reason
LMND Long We believe sentiment-driven pressure on application-layer technology can create asymmetric upside if capital rotates beyond AI infrastructure into companies applying automation to large consumer markets.
ZETA Long We believe a shift in market preference toward applied AI and marketing automation could re-rate companies with scalable data-driven software platforms.
TEM Long We believe healthcare-focused AI applications can attract renewed investor interest as the market begins to value concrete software use cases beyond infrastructure spending.
