Sage Shares Plunge 29% Amid AI Fears but Show Strong Growth, Presenting Potential Bargain
June 2, 2026, 3:14 AM EDT. Sage, a FTSE 100 software firm providing accounting, HR, and payroll SaaS solutions, has seen its shares fall 29% over the past year due to investor fears that AI will automate workflows, threatening its revenue. However, recent results reveal 11% growth in recurring revenue, 10% sales rise, and a 15% jump in operating profit, signaling strong business momentum despite AI uncertainties. CEO Steve Hare emphasizes small and midsize businesses' reliance on Sage for critical, compliance-focused tasks and highlights significant AI investments by the company itself. Market caution about AI's impact on SaaS stocks has likely overstated risks to Sage, making its shares a potential value buy amid broader tech sector declines.
