On April 1-2, 2026, enterprise software stocks staged their biggest rally since the February SaaSpocalypse, with ServiceNow surging 7.4%, Salesforce climbing 6.8%, and Adobe gaining 8.1%. The catalyst was a collective realization that AI monetization had crossed an inflection point — mid-tier software firms reported 'AI Pro-Plus' tier adoption exceeding 40% among enterprise clients, and large-scale institutional buyers who had sidelined SaaS in favor of the 'chip trade' re-entered the space. For builders, this signals that the market is differentiating between SaaS companies that successfully pivoted to AI pricing and those that didn't.
