The best software AI plays: Analyst

RBC Capital Markets Software Equity Analyst Rishi Jaluria and Macquarie Head of US AI and Software Research Frederick Havemeyer join Market Domination to discuss the best AI plays outside major tech companies and chipmakers.

Havemeyer says that cybersecurity companies will benefit from the AI race and points particularly to CrowdStrike (CRWD). "While they're not selling generative AI themselves, we think that the advent of generative AI is making it much easier for attackers to exploit a lot of things," he explains. He says that CrowdStrike is well positioned to defend against those attacks.

Jaluria points to Zoom (ZM) as an "underappreciated AI play," as it uses the technology as a tool to aid salespeople or HR representatives in analyzing behaviors. "I think about those use cases, maybe even verticalizing them for the Contact Center, where Contact Center Zoom has been getting a great amount of success," he explains.
