1124 GMT - Sage Group's performance is reassuring, with no sign that artificial intelligence poses a threat, AJ Bell's Dan Coatsworth writes in a note. While concerns exist over AI disrupting accountancy software providers like Sage, the critical role of accounting, sensitive data, and risk of errors are potential obstacles to widespread AI adoption, he says. "Management is doing its best to convince investors that AI can be an opportunity rather than a threat, driving efficiencies in the business," he adds. Shares are up 0.3% at 10.46 pounds.
