Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 139 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Fair Isaac Corporation has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 82% evidence confidence.
Fiserv, Inc. looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Automatic Data Processing, Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.

Revenue Scale & Growth Durability

Uber Technologies, Inc. has the highest Revenue among the 30 Software - Application companies compared here, at $53,687 million. Salesforce, Inc. is next at $42,829 million. Figma, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 41.4%, so level and change sit with different companies. 25 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Uber Technologies, Inc. is the scale leader at $53,687 million, 25.4% ahead of Salesforce, Inc.. Figma, Inc.'s growth is 41.4% from a $1,161 million base, with 9 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderUber Technologies, Inc. · $53,687 million
Gap25.4% versus #2 · Salesforce, Inc.
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage25/30 companies · 531 observations

Investor read: Uber Technologies, Inc. is the scale benchmark; Figma, Inc. is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Uber Technologies, Inc.'s growth falls below Figma, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Operating Economics & Margin Trend

Fair Isaac Corporation has the highest OPM among the 30 Software - Application companies compared here, at 58.2%. Intuit Inc. is next at 47%. Snowflake Inc. has the highest Margin change at +19.5 percentage points, so level and change sit with different companies. 28 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Fair Isaac Corporation leads opm at 58.2%; Snowflake Inc. leads margin change at +19.5 percentage points.

LeaderFair Isaac Corporation · 58.2%
Gap23.8% versus #2 · Intuit Inc.
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage28/30 companies · 525 observations

Investor read: Fair Isaac Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current margin change signal.

Operating margin compares operating profit with revenue. Improvement is measured in percentage points, not percentage growth.

Gap8% versus #2 · Salesforce, Inc.
Persistence6/8 recent comparable periods

Investor read: Uber Technologies, Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is the residual after operating costs, interest and tax. Growth off a loss or near-zero base is excluded from the fastest-grower rank.

Investor read: Use the CAPEX rank as a diligence queue. Verify commissioning, utilization, cash conversion and post-investment ROCE before treating spend as value creation.

This conclusion weakens if: CAPEX rises without higher utilization, operating cash flow or incremental returns.

CAPEX is cash spent on property, plant, equipment and other reported capital assets. CAPEX intensity divides that spend by revenue; high intensity is a reinvestment signal, not proof that the reinvestment will earn attractive returns.

Annual capital allocation · 9-year view
30/30 capacity base · 30/30 OCF · 30/30 CAPEX · 30/30 FCF

Capacity base is net fixed assets plus capital work in progress, straight off the reported balance sheet. It is not cash spent, so it answers a narrower question than CAPEX — but it is reported for companies whose cash-flow CAPEX is not published, which is why it leads here. Missing years remain blank; annual values are never relabelled as quarters.

Debt Load & Balance-Sheet Headroom

Quantinuum Inc. has the lowest Gross debt among the 30 Software - Application companies compared here, at $22 million. Zoom Communications, Inc. is next at $32 million. Zoom Communications, Inc. has the lowest Net debt at $7,689 million net cash, so level and change sit with different companies. Its Gross debt series carries 5 reported observations across the 20-quarter window.

What the numbers say: Zoom Communications, Inc. has the clearest covered balance-sheet capacity with $7,689 million net cash and gross debt of $32 million. Absolute debt alone does not identify the strongest balance sheet because company scale differs; net debt and debt-to-equity carry more information.

LeaderQuantinuum Inc. · $22 million
Gap31.3% versus #2 · Zoom Communications, Inc.
Persistence5/5 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 546 observations

Investor read: Prioritize net-cash capacity and leverage relative to operating scale, not the smallest absolute rupee debt.

This conclusion weakens if: Net debt rises faster than revenue and profit for two consecutive reported periods.

Gross debt shows contractual borrowings. Net debt subtracts reported cash; a negative value means net cash. Lower debt can create capacity, but should be read against the scale and capital intensity of the business.

Return On Capital Employed

Fair Isaac Corporation has the highest ROCE among the 30 Software - Application companies compared here, at 25.7%. Automatic Data Processing, Inc. is next at 15.5%. The same company also holds the highest ROCE change, at +8.6 percentage points. 30 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: Fair Isaac Corporation leads ROCE at 25.7%, 10.2 percentage points above Automatic Data Processing, Inc.. Fair Isaac Corporation has the strongest latest improvement at +8.6 percentage points. Read the leader beside the density of its reported history: a sparse high return is a candidate; a repeated high return is evidence of durability.

LeaderFair Isaac Corporation · 25.7%
Gap65.8% versus #2 · Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage30/30 companies · 535 observations

Investor read: Fair Isaac Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roce change signal.

ROCE asks how much operating return the business earns on the capital employed. Direction matters, but a single exceptional year should not be mistaken for durability.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

Zoom Communications, Inc. has the lowest Guarded PEG among the 30 Software - Application companies compared here, at 0.55×. Salesforce, Inc. is next at 0.58×. Fiserv, Inc. has the lowest P/E at 9.46×, so level and change sit with different companies. 16 of 30 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Zoom Communications, Inc. has the lowest comparable Guarded PEG at 0.55×, 5.2% below Salesforce, Inc.. Only 16 of 30 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/e signal.

PEG is shown only when earnings are positive and three-year EPS growth is between 5% and 60%. It is recomputed consistently as the trailing P/E divided by that growth rate — reported earnings, never an expected-earnings multiple. On Indian companies it is shown only where the two data sources reconciled. A missing PEG is more honest than a low-base fiction.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.

EV/EBITDA includes debt in enterprise value and is useful across different capital structures. P/BV prices the company against its own book. Both are market multiples on reported figures, not intrinsic-value estimates and not forecasts.

Market action

Datadog, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Software - Application at +85%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +45.7%. 3 of 28 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-07-28.

Every price line is indexed to 100 over the chosen window. Mansfield relative strength compares a price ratio with its own 52-week average; zero separates leadership from lagging.
Price and relative strength

Price is rebased to 100 inside the selected window. Pair ratio rebases each selected company against one chosen denominator.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Software - Application comparison names 4 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 30 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
10 · the complete set

Which companies are included?

All 30 companies in the canonical Software - Application membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.

AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.

How was this comparison built?

This comparison is built from the reported filings of 30 Software - Application companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Software - Application company comparison FAQs

These 18 answers restate the Software - Application comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 30 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Which Software - Application company is the biggest?

Uber Technologies, Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $53,687 million, ahead of Salesforce, Inc. at $42,829 million. That covers 25 of 30 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Software - Application company is growing fastest?

Figma, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 41.4% year on year, across 25 of 30 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.

Which Software - Application company has the best profit margins?

Fair Isaac Corporation has the highest operating margin at 58.2%, from 28 of 30 comparable companies. Snowflake Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +19.5 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.

Which Software - Application company makes the most profit?

Uber Technologies, Inc. earns the most, at $8,661 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 25 of 30 comparable companies. Guidewire Software, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Software - Application company earns the highest return on capital?

Fair Isaac Corporation leads on return on capital employed at 25.7%, across 30 of 30 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Software - Application stock is the cheapest?

On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Zoom Communications, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.55×. Only 16 of 30 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Which Software - Application company has the strongest balance sheet?

Quantinuum Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $22 million, from 30 of 30 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.

Which Software - Application company is investing most in new capacity?

Fiserv, Inc. reports the largest capital spending at $458 million, across 30 of 30 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.

Is the Software - Application sector beating the market?

Software - Application has underperformed S&P 500 by 35% over the last 52 weeks and 6.6% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 3 of 28 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Software - Application stock has the strongest price momentum?

Datadog, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Software - Application company scores highest for research priority?

Fair Isaac Corporation scores 69.5 out of 100 with 82% evidence confidence, from 28.1 points on growth and earnings, 16.4 on capital efficiency, 12.2 on valuation and 12.8 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Software - Application companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 30 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 9 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Software - Application sector?

The 30 Software - Application companies on this page carry $1,819,636 million of combined market value. SAP SE is the largest at $209,429 million, about 12% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-28.

What is the Software - Application sector's P/E ratio?

The median price-to-earnings ratio across the 30 Software - Application companies on this page is 23.5×, measured on the 24 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-07-28.

How is the Software - Application sector performing?

3 of the 28 covered Software - Application companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 35% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-07-28.

How many Software - Application stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 30 listed Software - Application companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
