According to Trivariate Research, investors looking to make money in the software sector could consider this winning strategy. “Own software stocks with low but accelerating revenue growth: Our work shows that this is by far the best way to make money in software,” wrote founder Adam Parker, highlighting a basket of stocks that have already registered a decline this year. Growth stocks across all sectors have rallied early in the year as AI-related tailwinds persist, strong earnings drive expectations for continued growth, and recent data point to signs of a robust economy. Zscaler and CrowdStrike are among the names included, with shares up 15% and 29%, respectively, since the start of 2024. Both companies are also coming off a strong 2023 in which shares rose 98% and 142, respectively %. The basket also mentions Cloudflare, which surged more than 29% during Friday’s session and posted its best day since November 2022 on the back of a strong earnings report. The stock is up nearly 30% since the start of 2024. HubSpot, Five9 and Confluent were also in the basket. – CNBC’s Michael Bloom contributed reporting
