The upward movement suggests bargain hunters are returning to the stock following a sustained selloff that has pressured enterprise software equities.

Tuesday’s rally reflects growing investor confidence that AI technologies may complement rather than displace enterprise software platforms. Company leadership has consistently challenged narratives suggesting AI will eliminate demand for their solutions.

Just five days earlier, the stock had already jumped 4.3% following comments from Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang, who dismissed concerns that AI would destroy the enterprise software industry. Those remarks triggered rallies across the sector, including gains for Zscaler (ZS) and CrowdStrike (CRWD).
