Investors interested in stocks from the Internet - Software sector have probably already heard of BILL Holdings (BILL) and Braze, Inc. (BRZE). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?
Braze remains a compelling "Buy" despite a ~40% YTD decline, as the company delivers robust growth amid macro headwinds. BRZE defies weaker consumer spending and shrinking marketing budgets, maintaining strong customer engagement platform demand. Software sector weakness is driven by capital rotation into AI infrastructure, but I expect economic value to shift back to software applications.

The pullback has been partly tied to fears that artificial intelligence (AI) could disrupt customer engagement software providers. But Braze's latest earnings release indicate a rebound underpinned by strength in clients, penetration, and cash flow, suggesting AI is becoming a demand driver rather than just a competitive threat.

Investors with an interest in Internet - Software stocks have likely encountered both ZoomInfo (GTM) and Braze, Inc. (BRZE). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?
Braze remains a buy as Q4 2026 results reinforce the case for accelerating growth and higher valuation. Bookings surged over 50% y/y, enterprise traction deepened, and large customers now comprise 64% of ARR, supporting sustained momentum. AI is now contributing to revenue, with BrazeAI Decisioning Studio generating $5.7M and rapid adoption of new AI tools signaling future monetization potential.
Braze (BRZE) has declined nearly 50% over the past year but recently surged ~20% after a strong Q4 earnings beat. I reiterate my buy rating on BRZE, citing resilient growth execution and evidence of AI resistance in its customer engagement platform. Market pessimism centers on macro-driven marketing spend reductions and long-term risks from AI potentially replacing application-layer software like BRZE.
Braze (NASDAQ:BRZE) delivered a strong close to fiscal 2026, and six Wall Street analysts responded with updated price targets that reflect genuine confidence in the company's growth trajectory, tempered by valuation discipline in a compressed multiple environment.
