US stocks open lower as software woes continue

US stocks opened lower on Monday, with all three major indexes falling in the opening minutes of trade and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) pacing declines, dropping about 0.5%.

The most notable single-stock move in markets, however, is a reminder of where investors fears still lie — software stocks.

Shares of monday.com (MNDY) fell as much as 23% in early trade on Monday after the company's sales and profit forecasts fell short of estimates, the latest software-exposed name to be judged harshly by investors as questions over how AI-related disruptions will impact future profits remain abundant.

Overall, investors will remain in wait-and-see mode with some of the week's biggest earnings and economic data reports set for release later, notably Wednesday morning's January jobs report.
