Snowflake just had its best day ever — up 35% — after crushing earnings, raising its forecast, and signing a massive $6 billion deal with Amazon's cloud division. The excitement spilled over into other software stocks like ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir.

## Idea

Snowflake's blowout quarter proves companies are accelerating their AI spending, and that money is flowing into software — not just chips. When one stock in a sector explodes like this, it often drags peers higher over the following days as investors rotate into the next cheapest name in the group. ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir all rode Snowflake's coattails today, but they may still have room to run as the 'AI software' story attracts fresh money. Goldman Sachs' equity strategists separately raised their S&P 500 target today, specifically citing earnings driven by AI gains broadening out.
