4 Software Stocks Trading Near 52-Week Lows to Grab Now

Bearish market sentiment has dragged several software stocks down in price significantly since the beginning of the year. However, the industry’s prospects look bright due to enterprises’ rising investments in software solutions as part of their digital transformation efforts. So, we think software stocks SolarWinds (SWI), Agilysys (AGYS), Model N (MODN), and Rimini Street (RMNI), which are currently trading near their 52-week price lows, hold immense upside potential. Thus, it could be wise to bet on these stocks now. Read on.

The rising adoption of cloud computing and software solutions has helped businesses make their operations more efficient, with the capacity to accommodate remote working. And the industry should continue witnessing rising demand for innovative and advanced solutions. But concerns over the Federal Reserve’s forthcoming interest rate increases have generated immense selling pressure on software companies of late.

But rising government and corporate investments in cybersecurity solutions and remote access needs should drive the industry’s growth. Investors’ optimism in this space is evidenced by the Invesco Dynamic Software ETF’s (PSJ) 0.3% gain over the past month, versus the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF’s (SPY) negative returns. Further, the global software market is expected to grow at a 7.1% CAGR to $824.85 billion by 2026.

Software stocks SolarWinds Corporation (SWI), Agilysys, Inc. (AGYS), Model N, Inc. (MODN), and Rimini Street, Inc. (RMNI) have been trading near their 52-week lows. However, given their latest developments and long-term growth prospects, these stocks possess immense upside potential. So, we think it could be wise to grab these stocks now.
