Snowflake stock exploded 35% higher after crushing earnings expectations, signing a $6 billion deal with Amazon's cloud division, and raising its outlook — proof that corporate AI spending is still accelerating fast.

## Idea

Snowflake's 35% single-day surge and $6 billion AWS partnership prove that AI spending by large companies is still ramping aggressively. The rally already spilled into ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir, but those names haven't moved nearly as far. Goldman's top equity strategist just raised his S&P 500 target specifically because earnings are coming in strong, and he expects AI gains to broaden across the market. When a mega-cap name explodes like this, money managers often rotate profits into the next-tier names in the same theme — giving the laggards a second wave of buying over the following two weeks.
