The study of the dynamics of an holomorphic map near a fixed point is a central topic in complex dynamical systems. In this paper, we will consider the corresponding random setting: given a probability measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ with compact support on the space of germs of holomorphic maps fixing the origin, we study the compositions $f_{n}\circ \cdots \circ f_{1}$, where each $f_{i}$ is chosen independently with probability $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$. As in the deterministic case, the stability of the family of the random iterates is mostly determined by the linear part of the germs in the support of the measure. A particularly interesting case occurs when all Lyapunov exponents vanish, in which case stability implies simultaneous linearizability of all germs in $\text{supp}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D708})$.
