We recently published a list of Why These 15 Software Stocks Are Plunging In 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Triller Group Inc (NASDAQ:ILLR) stands against other software stocks that are plunging in 2025.
The software sector has been anything but calm lately. These stocks were the darlings of Wall Street for the past few years but are now taking a beating due to tariff-related uncertainty and worries about AI’s lack of profitability.
News headlines have been almost entirely negative in the past two months due to weak macro data and big companies’ disappointing earnings results. This has caused a pivot toward profitability over growth.
Volatility often hides opportunity, and many of these software stocks are now oversold and can rebound when sentiment shifts. As such, it’s worth looking into the stocks that have plunged the most.
Methodology
For this article, I screened the worst-performing software stocks year-to-date.

Triller Group Inc (NASDAQ:ILLR)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 12
Triller Group Inc (NASDAQ:ILLR) sells an AI-powered tech platform that integrates social media and financial services.
Triller Group has faced persistent operational losses and reported a net loss of $12.4 million on just $5.4 million in revenue in the most recent quarter.
On February 28, 2025, Director Robert E. Jr. Diamond sold 129,275 shares at an average price of $1.04. This followed earlier sales by the same director in January, which collectively led to a significant drop in stock price due to a perceived lack of trust in the company’s future.
Moreover, it raised $50 million in equity funding through private placement in early February 2025, which diluted existing shareholder value and contributed to a sharp decline in its price.
The merger with AGBA Group in October 2024 was intended to boost its valuation to $4 billion but has not yet delivered the anticipated stability or growth. Instead, the company has been languishing.
The stock is down significantly so far in 2025.
ILLR stock is down 67.39% year-to-date.
Overall, ILLR ranks 1st on our list of software stocks that are plunging in 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of ILLR as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than ILLR but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
