Dear Salesforce Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for February 25

The so-called software Armageddon has arrived, and it has not tiptoed in. Fears that advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models from OpenAI and Anthropic could automate vast swaths of enterprise applications have triggered an aggressive sector-wide selloff. Jefferies Financial Group (JEF) captured the mood bluntly, dubbing the moment a “SaaSapocalypse.”
