JPMorgan Highlights 19 AI-Resilient Software Names, Forecasts Modest Dollar Slide
JPMorgan strategists identified 19 AI-resilient software firms, including Microsoft and CrowdStrike, as oversold and poised for a rebound due to enterprise moats and AI-driven workflow benefits. The bank also projects a modest U.S. dollar decline in 2026, asserting its reserve currency role remains intact and can bolster emerging market inflows.
1. AI-Resilient Software Strategy
JPMorgan strategists flagged 19 software companies, including Microsoft and CrowdStrike, as having strong enterprise moats and positioned to benefit from AI-driven workflow improvements. They argue the recent selloff has pushed the sector into oversold territory, creating conditions for a rotation back into higher-quality SaaS names with multi-year contracts and high switching costs.
2. 2026 Dollar Outlook
In its 2026 market outlook, JPMorgan forecasts a modest U.S. dollar decline, smaller and more contained than in 2025, while maintaining its primacy as a global reserve and funding currency. The bank warns that inflationary or disorderly policy choices could pose risks, but sees a softer dollar as an opportunity to drive allocations toward emerging markets and commodities.
