If you’re searching for stocks that could enhance your portfolio this April, software companies could be the way to go.
Amid all this market turmoil caused by tariffs and trade uncertainty, companies that offer crucial services, particularly in the tech sector, are resilient.
After browsing thoroughly through analyst ratings, earnings growth, and financial stability, three stocks emerge as strong contenders: Salesforce (CRM), Intuit (INTU), and Adobe (ADBE).
Here’s a breakdown:
Salesforce (CRM)
Stock price: $278.53 | Price target upside: 29.15% | 2025 EPS growth: 77.38%
Salesforce is at the forefront of customer relationship management (CRM) software, which helps businesses track and manage their customer interactions.
But the real deal is in its AI-powered tools, like Agentforce, which allows companies to automate customer conversations without human intervention (aka the robots are taking over, kind of).
Why this stock?
Salesforce is raking in cash. Its operating margin has jumped from under 6% in 2023 to over 20% in 2025, and its data cloud and AI revenue is up 120%. This means Salesforce isn’t just keeping up with the AI revolution, it is leading everyone else.
Intuit (INTU)
Stock price: $600.59 | Price target upside: 20.18% | 2025 EPS growth: 88.60%
You may know Intuit as the company behind TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Credit Karma. It is basically the backbone of personal finance and small business accounting.
But what makes it exciting right now? AI, of course.
Intuit has been aggressively embedding AI into its products, and it’s paying off big time. The company just reported 17% revenue growth and a 61% jump in operating income in Q2 2025.
Plus, its target market is a $300 billion industry, and Intuit has barely scratched the surface. In other words, there’s still plenty of room to grow.
With a strong balance sheet, booming AI integration, and consistent growth, Intuit is a stock that could keep delivering wins over time.
Adobe (ADBE)
Stock price: $389.33 | Price target upside: 38.32% | 2025 EPS growth: 68.40%
Adobe’s software is everywhere, from Photoshop to Premiere Pro, but lately, investors haven’t been too thrilled.
Adobe’s stock is down nearly 9% this year, mostly because people expected more immediate revenue from its AI tools.
Here’s the thing. Adobe is playing the long game. Instead of selling AI tools separately, it is using them to attract more subscribers, which means consistent revenue over time.
Meanwhile, the stock continues to sit at an attractive price, which makes it a bargain for long-term investors.
If you believe in AI’s impact on creativity (which is inevitable), Adobe is a solid bet for the future and should be on your radar.
