Snowflake just reported blockbuster earnings powered by AI demand and locked in a massive $6 billion partnership with Amazon's cloud division. The stock is soaring 35% and pulling other big software names higher with it.

## Idea

Snowflake's 35% single-day surge is one of the largest moves we've seen from a major software company, driven by real AI revenue acceleration and a landmark $6 billion AWS deal. History shows that when a marquee tech name explodes like this on fundamental news, it tends to lift peers in the same sector — ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir are already moving. These catches can run for days as fund managers rotate into the theme. The risk is that the move is already crowded, so keeping a tight trailing stop protects you if the momentum fades.
