Snowflake just had its best day ever, soaring 35% after crushing earnings and signing a massive $6 billion deal with Amazon's cloud division. The excitement is spilling over into other big software names.

## Idea

Snowflake's 35% surge isn't just about one company — it's proof that companies are spending aggressively on AI infrastructure, and investors are scrambling to reprice the whole sector. ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir all moved higher on Snowflake's coattails but haven't seen anything close to that kind of pop. When one stock in a group explodes like this, the laggards often play catch-up over the following days as fund managers rotate profits into similar names. With Snowflake's $6 billion AWS deal signaling that AI budgets are accelerating, these peers could keep drifting higher.
