Wedbush notes Anthropic hosted its Enterprise Agent event where the company provided the latest product updates that make Claude Cowork effective for enterprises. The company provided some use cases across different industries, including Spotify (SPOT) for reduced engineering time on complex code migrations, Novo Nordisk (NVO) for improved clinical study documentation timelines, and Salesforce (CRM) for reduced timelines in Slack. While these use cases are impressive, the reality is that these new AI tools will not rip and replace existing software ecosystems and data environments with these AI tools only as useful as the data it can reach, the firm argues. Wedbush believes market is conflating foundation model capability with full enterprise software replacement and the fear that generative AI will rewrite legacy systems overnight ignores enterprise reality. Cyber becomes the enforcement layer of AI, not a casualty of it, it adds. The firm sees CrowdStrike (CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), and Zscaler (ZS) as “winners and NOT losers” in this AI world.
