Software Valuations Unusually Decoupled From Earnings Growth -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-16 17:01

0900 GMT - Historically low valuations for software stocks suggest the sector is likely to recover, UniCredit's Tobias Keller writes. The selloff earlier this year in software--despite improved earnings guidance--left "the gap between recently rebounding prices and strong earnings growth unusually wide." European software stocks extend a rally that began earlier this week, with a sector gauge rising 1.8% in morning European trade after gaining 1.9% in the last session. German software giant SAP is up 2.1%, while Wolters Kluwer gains 1.8%. U.K. group Sage is 0.9% higher. The sector is boosted by a broader rally in tech after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s strong first-quarter earnings.(josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
