Are These Top Software Stocks Worth Investing In This Week?

Investors seem to be flocking back to the broader tech sector as of yesterday. Because of this, software stocks could be in their sights again. Accordingly, this is due to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s prepared comments for today’s congressional hearing. In the comments, Powell warned that economic recovery remains “far from complete”. Where does that leave software stocks? Well, for starters, we saw countless organizations bump up their enterprise infrastructure spending over the past year. Having made those investments, it would make sense then that they would continue making the most of said services. This is where Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies, and by extension software stocks, come into play.

For instance, companies like Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) and Workday (NASDAQ: WDAY) operate on a subscription basis. Both of these companies provide crucial enterprise services that organizations will likely continue to rely on moving forward. With the convenience and efficiency brought on by their services, this could be the case. Not to mention, software is continuously being updated to meet the shifting dynamics of the world today. Having read this far, you might be keen on investing in the sector yourself. If you are, here are four of the top software stocks to add to your watchlist before April 2021.
