Fatima Boolani, Co-Head of US Software Equity Research at Citi, identifies infrastructure software as a key investment area during the current tech sector pullback driven by AI developments.
As the tech industry navigates recent market volatility, infrastructure software companies are positioning themselves as beneficiaries of the broader AI trade, according to Boolani's analysis.
Infrastructure software—the underlying systems that enable cloud computing, data management, and AI operations—has become increasingly critical as enterprises scale artificial intelligence deployments. These foundational tools support the hardware and platforms necessary for training and running AI models.
Boolani's assessment suggests investors should focus on this sector category despite broader tech selloffs. Infrastructure software providers stand to gain as companies invest heavily in the computational backbone required for AI initiatives.
The commentary reflects a growing recognition among analysts that while AI hype may create market fluctuations, the enabling infrastructure required to support AI adoption remains a stable, long-term investment thesis for software companies positioned in that space.
