Investor Jay Woods is eyeing three earnings reports from the software sector this week to possibly trigger a bounce in the beaten-down space. But he cautions this is for swing traders and those with the risk tolerance. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) is experiencing an epic drawdown because of fears of AI disruption, even as the rest of the bull market marches on. The IGV is down nearly 30% from its all-time high late last year, but has seen some ever-so-slight buying in recent days. Woods flagged this could happen on Thursday and said the results for Applovin , Datadog and Unity Software could be a positive catalyst for the bounce to continue. Datadog reports Tuesday before the bell. Applovin and Unity report after the bell Wednesday.
