Why monday.com (MNDY) Shares Are Trading Lower Today

Shares of work management platform monday.com (NASDAQ:MNDY) fell 5.4% in the morning session after a broad sell-off hit the technology sector, fueled by renewed concerns over high valuations and the potential disruption from artificial intelligence (AI). The decline was widespread, with major stock indexes retreating. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell significantly as technology stocks became the heaviest weights on the market. The sell-off specifically hit software and semiconductor stocks. This pressure on tech stocks came as worries over stretched valuations lingered, following warnings of a market pullback from Wall Street executives. The information technology sector dropped, reflecting the negative sentiment that swept through the market and dragged down companies within the industry.

monday.com’s shares are very volatile and have had 29 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 2 days ago when the stock dropped 5.2% on the news that markets became increasingly wary of high valuations following a significant AI-driven rally.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell approximately 1.4% as a wave of caution swept through the market. A key example of this trend is Palantir Technologies, which saw its shares drop around 7% despite reporting record quarterly results that surpassed analyst estimates and raising its full-year revenue outlook. This seemingly contradictory movement highlighted a broader sentiment shift. Investors appeared to be engaging in profit-taking, concerned that the recent surge in AI-related stocks had led to stretched valuations. This broader market caution affected high-growth technology companies that had previously surged on AI optimism but faced increased scrutiny, signaling a potential cooling-off period for the sector. Adding serious weight to this caution, leadership at both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley highlighted the possibility of a correction in the equity markets over the next couple of years. Despite the euphoria driven by AI optimism and the promise of future rate cuts, these banks viewed this cooling-off period not as a disaster, but as a necessary and healthy feature of a long-term bull market.

monday.com is down 20.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $183.53 per share, it is trading 44% below its 52-week high of $327.92 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of monday.com’s shares at the IPO in June 2021 would now be looking at an investment worth $1,026.
