Executive Summary
Market Consensus: AI coding tools are margin-destroying commodity businesses with no moats, competing on model access. The Real Story: We're witnessing the Great SaaS Unbundling. Shlomo's thesis that 'it will be easier to build your own Salesforce than buy a license' isn't hyperbole—it's the logical endpoint of software becoming liquid. The $80M Base44 acquisition isn't about Wix buying a coding tool; it's about owning the infrastructure layer for post-SaaS software. While everyone debates Cursor vs. Replit margins, Wix is building the AWS of vibe coding with built-in databases, user management, and integrations. The contrarian opportunity: WIX trades at 0.52 PEG ratio with $567M FCF while 'sexier' AI coding startups raise at $6B+ valuations. This is the classic infrastructure-vs-application arbitrage—bet on the platform, not the apps.
