Some recent developments suggest the beleaguered software group of stocks may be coming back into favor, as I noted a couple weeks ago following positive responses to both Snowflake and Elastic.The interest in software is showing up again this week, with initiations and upgrades and downgrades on a raft of names.NOT EVERYONES A WINNERFirst, the bad news: Some software stocks may be even less desirable in a rebounding software market.Wednesday, J.P. Morgans Pinjalim Bora rejiggered ratings on three software stocks: C3.ai, which just reported positively on Monday; PagerDuty, which sold off last month on its rather mixed earnings report; and Sprinklr, which also had a downbeat report last week.In contrast to the exuberance around C3 at most shops, Bora is not impressed. He cut his rating to Underweight from Neutral, as the companys uneven and subpar growth-plus-margin performance leaves a lot to be desired, and it remains a big outlier compared to a broader base of peers trading at over 10 times FTM revenue.I think Bora pretty much summed up what I said on Monday in being underwhelmed: tepid growth, rich stock price.PagerDuty is a little more surprising. Bora cuts his rating to Underweight as well because of rising competition. In case you dont remember, PagerDuty makes software that allows a companys IT team to know when computer systems are having issues, such as a system failure, and the software helps them take steps to remediate it.Lots of companies are coming into the market, threatening PagerDutys customer acquisition and potentially putting pressure on its pricing control, writes Bora.We are observing a commoditization of the core on-call scheduling capabilities in the market, he writes. We are seeing large established vendors come into this space recently, in addition to the emergence of a large swath of startups in the space, most of which are entering the market as cheaper alternatives to PagerDuty.Many of these new entrants are banking on the idea that AIOps, a focus on artificial intelligence and automation, is taking over PagerDutys market, Bora notes.For example, Bora says Datadog rolled out something competitive this summer called On-Call, and in the most recent earnings call the company said it was getting a very strong reception . . . as customers are requesting On-Call as part of their deal.Likewise, software maker Atlassian is directing customers to use its JIRA software for IT. Theres also progress being made in the open-source world, including something called Grafana. Bora notes an explosion of startups, as the number of Incident Response vendors has gone from ~70 in the beginning of 2022 to ~100 as of now, with the number of vendors serving the enterprise doubling in that time period from 15 to 30.For Sprinklr, Bora cuts his rating to Neutral from Overweight. The stocks valuation is undemanding at current levels, he writes, namely, two times next years likely revenue. Still, hes moving to the sidelines because the growth just isnt there at the moment. We await the emergence of a sustainable growth plus margin glide path over the next 12 to 18 months, he says.SOME LONG-AWAITED AI PAYOFFThursday, Macquarie Researchs Steve Koenig started coverage of six companies, including Datadog and Atlassian, but also Salesforce, Autodesk, GitLab, and MongoDB.Koenigs overall theme is that these vendors are poised to finally get some of the artificial intelligence payoff investors have been waiting for.He sees the accelerating cloud revenue trends at major hyperscalers as something that bodes well for software, as customers have largely worked their way through cloud spending optimization efforts and are investing in digital transformation, cloud migration, and AI.AI is no longer just about Nvidias chips: AI investments are flowing upwards in the stack, from GPUs to infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) to platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and applications, writes Koenig, referring to two cloud-based software categories.Koenig likes Autodesk, Datadog, and GitLab, rating them each Outperform, and slaps a Neutral rating on the other three.GitLab is Koenigs top pick based on our perception of a significant valuation discount and catalysts that could include FY26 revenue outperformance, margin expansion, improving Rule of 40 scores, and strong FCF generation. The company is past the worst of the macroeconomic headwinds in its market for developer tools, he writes. And the valuation, at 10.8 times the next 12 months projected revenue, is a 28% discount to what he thinks it should be, which is 13.8 times. That is the seventh-largest discount in our 40-company growth software index, he notes.Datadog has near-term catalysts that could include significant FY25E revenue outperformance as the year progresses, Koenig says. For instance, the companys moves to embrace AI provide exposure to large language model (LLM) inferencing (with LLM observability) and differentiate its workflow and analysis capabilities. He sees the positives at Datadog driving top- and bottom-line outperformance, with revenue growth above the 20% range through FY27E accompanied by incremental margin expansion.Some of the positive stuff is merely accounting changes. Autodesk, Koenig writes, has not lived up to its profit potential, and its free cash flow has been volatile for several years. However, he is optimistic the fundamentals will improve with a new transaction model that Autodesk has undertaken.In that new model, the company is recording as revenue what it used to pay resellers, by selling directly to the end customer. That could boost the companys billings next year, the non-GAAP number for what it brings in each quarter, though the exact amount, according to Koenig, is opaque. More important, he says, selling direct will help ADSK optimize its operations over time, potentially enhancing profitability, via a more direct path to the customer.SHORT TAKES: PALANTIRS EXPENSIVE, REDDITS GOT UPSIDEThere were a few other scattered notes of coverage here and there.Shadowy spook software maker Palantir has a lot to recommend it, but not its valuation, writes William Power of RW Baird on Thursday, initiating coverage of the stock with a Neutral rating. On the one hand, the company is catalyzing growth with AI via its artificial intelligence platform introduced last year, Power observes, also noting that the company has excelled at actually putting generative AI applications into production, which is where we expect most value to be extracted in the coming years.But after more than quadrupling in value this year, the shares trade for 48 times revenue, way, way above most cloud software stocks, which trade for 16 times on average. Even if the company keeps growing revenue by 30% through 2026, its multiple would still be 35 times.Power gives the stock a $70 price target, just below Thursdays $73.20, which would equate to 40 times 2026 revenue.I think Power is being too generous. The valuation for Palantir is way too much, driven by this years trading momentum. We saw this with Snowflake in 2020, when it went public and had the highest software multiple ever. Snowflake shares are down 8% since that IPOfour years later. Itll be the same for Palantir, Ill bet: It wont grow into this elevated valuation.Another one this week was Wells Fargos Ken Gawrelskis initiation of social-media property Reddit with an Overweight rating and a $206 price target26% upside from a recent $163.51.Its stock is also expensive, but justifiably so, he believes. We acknowledge the premium multiple (~30X 26 EBITDA), but believe it comes with premium growth (30% 3yr Rev CAGR).There is ample near-term opportunity for RDDT to enhance ad monetization, Gawrelski says, with the company making only a third of what Meta Platforms makes in terms of advertising dollars per minute of usage, which is currently $5.60 for every 1,000 minutes of usage, by estimate, versus $17.98 for Meta. Reddit can boost that, he argues, by increasing the number of ads shown and introducing new ad formats.Ad load optimization (boosting the number of ads) is an obvious opportunity for Reddit to take advantage of its fast-growing engagement base to increase monetization, Gawrelski writes. Data hes seen suggest the company currently has the lowest ad load compared to Meta, Pinterest, and Snap, at 1.5 ad impressions per minute versus two for Meta, and three to four for the others.If Reddit can boost that monetization in the next couple of years by just 5 percentage points, to 35% of Metas monetization, Gawrelski believes it could mean another $238 million in revenue in 2026 above whats already expected by the Street.In my view, its a modest proposition on Gawrelskis part, but its also a slim prospect on which to hang a very expensive stock multiple.I dont have space here to go into the others, but Nutanix was started at a Buy rating at UBS on Thursday, and Box was started with a Buy rating at Merrill Lynch.To me, these are all signs that whichever the stock, the software appetite is rising.This storyoriginally appearedinThe Technology Letterand is republished here with permission.

Want more housing market stories from Lance LambertsResiClubin your inbox?Subscribeto the ResiClubnewsletter.As housing markets across the U.S. continue to stabilize from the frenzied highs of the pandemic housing boom, active listings and inventory levels have become critical indicators of market health. ResiClub tracks these metrics closely, as they offer insights into the balance of supply and demandand what that balance might mean for future home prices.Over the past two years, a clear trend has emerged: Housing markets where active inventory has returned to pre-pandemic levels often experience softer home price growth or outright price declines. In contrast, markets where inventory remains significantly below pre-pandemic levels have generally sustained stronger price growth. Nationally, active listings increased by 26.2% between November 2023 and November 2024, signaling a shift toward more leverage for buyers in many areas. However, active inventory remains 16.6% below November 2019 levels, and some regions continue to experience tight supplythough not uniformly across the country.To see how the story varies across the nation, ResiClub analyzed full-month November inventory data, which was published last week by Realtor.com.Heres how this Novembers total inventory/active listings compares to previous years, according to data from Realtor.com:November 2017: 1,228,077 November 2018: 1,273,047 November 2019: 1,143,332 November 2020: 683,822 November 2021: 512,241 November 2022: 750,200 November 2023: 755,489 November 2024: 953,452 Florida has seen one of the biggest inventory jumps.In Florida, the biggest inventory increases initially over the past two years were concentrated in sections of Southwest Florida. In particular, in markets like Cape Coral, Punta Gorda, and Fort Myers, which were hard-hit by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. This combination of increased housing supply for salethe damaged homes coming up for salecoupled with strained demandthe result of spiked home prices, spiked mortgage rates, higher insurance premiums, and higher HOAstranslated into market softening across much of Southwest Florida.However, the inventory increases in Florida now expands far beyond SWFL. Markets like Jacksonville and Orlando are also above pre-pandemic levels, as are many coastal pockets along Floridas Atlantic Ocean side.One reason for this is that Floridas condo market is dealing with the after effects of regulation passed following the Surfside condo collapse in 2021. This is compounded by a slowdown in work-from-home migration to Florida and significant home insurance shocks.In August 2024, only 4 states had returned to or surpassed pre-pandemic 2019 active inventory levels. In September 2024, it grew to 7 states.In October 2024, that number grew to 8 states.In November 2024, that number grew again to 10 states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington.States likely to join that list soon include Alabama, Nebraska, Hawaii, and Georgia.Why are Sun Belt and Mountain West markets seeing a faster return to pre-pandemic inventory levels than many Midwest and Northeast markets?One factor is that some pockets of the Sun Belt and Mountain West experienced even greater home price growth during the pandemic housing boom, which stretched fundamentals too far beyond local incomes. Once pandemic-fueled migration slowed, and rates spiked, it became an issue in places like Colorado Springs and Austin.Unlike many Sun Belt housing markets, many Northeast and Midwest markets have lower levels of homebuilding. As new supply becomes available in Southwest and Southeast markets, and builders use affordability adjustments like mortgage rate buydowns to move it, it has created a cooling effect in the resale market. The Northeast and Midwest dont have that same level of new supply, so resale/existing homes are pretty much the only game in town.Bottom line: This year, we've witnessed a cooling in many housing markets as affordability challenges have dampened the intense demand seen during the pandemic housing boom. While some areas around the Gulf are experiencing declining home prices, most regional housing markets are still recording positive year-over-year price growth. The key question moving forward is whether rising active inventory and months of supply will lead to broader price declines across more markets.

Fabric canopies stretched over textured walls are intended to evoke the tents of the nomadic Bedouin people at this trio of viewpoints, designed by UK practice Clover Studio at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hegra in Saudi Arabia.The viewpoints frame key points along a driven nature tour through the archaeological site in the desert region of AlUla, which is best known for its rock-carved tombs dating from the ancient Nabatean period.Clover Studio has designed a series of tents in the AlUla desertThe Royal Commission of AlUla and tourism consultant Extreme Destinations tasked Bath-based Clover Studio with the creation of three viewpoints as part of a long-term redevelopment of the area to create an open-air museum.With the site's heritage status necessitating that the structures be removable in the future without ground disturbance, Clover Studio looked to the tents of the nomadic Bedouin people who historically occupied the area for its design.Fabric canopies shelter the spaces"A major challenge was ensuring the structures could withstand strong desert winds without invasive foundations, while also remaining light and modular enough for transport by pickup truck and foot," Clover Studio founder Harry Clover told Dezeen."Inspired by the traditional Bedouin tents of the Nabatean people, whose ancient art can still be found on nearby rocks, we used stretched fabric over curved walls to harmonise with the landscape, withstand strong winds, and offer shaded viewpoints for visitors," he added.The structures frame key views in the landscapeRendered timber walls supported by ballasts of local rock form the structure for each of the viewpoints, while curved walls wrap areas of crescent-shaped bench seating that are oriented towards specific views.Providing a roof over these walls are expanses of stretched canvas. While covering the internal areas, the canvas also slopes downwards to meet the ground and create sheltered, tent-like spaces at the edge of the viewpoints.Read: BIG and Nokken marry "functionality and elegance" for mobile glulam tent"Natural canvas and wall treatments were chosen to echo the deserts bleached, bone-like palette," Clover explained."Local rocks used in the walls minimised the need for foundations, while protective wood coatings in natural stone tints shield the wood from winter storms," he added.The design was informed by the tents of the nomadic Bedouin peopleWhile the smallest viewpoint consists of a single curved wall, the largest comprises a cylindrical tower with a spiral staircase that leads up to a 360-degree lookout."Visitors transition from a shaded, narrow entrance and darker interior space, designed for briefings, to an expansive, open viewing platform," said Clover. "This spatial compression and expansion enhance the impact of the landscape, creating a memorable visitor moment."One viewpoint has a spiral staircase to a lookoutAccompanying the viewpoints are a series of exhibition boards that highlight specific features, printed on bare aluminium to echo the "raw aesthetic" of the main structures, Clover Studio said.Elsewhere in the area, Bedouin tents also served as a reference point for the Banyan Tree AlUla Resort, which French Studio AW2 topped with stretched roofs of sand-coloured canvas, and Jean Nouvel is currently developing a subterranean hotel that will be carved into a sandstone hill.The photography is courtesy of Clover Studio.The post Bedouin tents inform AlUla desert lookout points by Clover Studio appeared first on Dezeen.

This Cardyhedron object is a fascinating solution, to a problem you'd think no one has. (And you'd be wrongat press time, at least 4,272 people had this problem.)The "problem" is that you're trying to play Dungeons & Dragons during an earthquake, or on the International Space Station, or on a rollercoaster; whatever the case is, you're not able to roll dice on a flat, stable surface. The credit-card-sized Cardyhedron takes the place of a full set of gaming diceD4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20using spinning wheels held in place with tiny ball bearings. So you can generate random numbers in any setting. The object is just 5mm thick, by the way.I was going to place this object in the "Who the F buys this S" category, but I forgot we're talking about the tabletop RPG market here. This market is at least as rabid as the EDC market. The Cardyhedron, which had a $4,000 target on Kickstarter, is currently sitting at $185,000 with 19 days left to pledge at press time.

As a slang term, "the kitchen sink" essentially means an excessive abundance. Chinese company Boelon, a manufacturer of high-end sinks, apparently takes the term seriously: Their Luxury Kitchen Sink features a regular faucet, two waterfall faucets, a bar-style inverted drinkware washer, a soap dispenser, and a drain basket and cutting board that can be suspended inside the sink basin. The sink's functions are operated by a chunky knurled dial and piano-style keys. It is kitchen sink as theater:These run $700.
