Snowflake just had its best day ever — up 35% — after blowing past earnings expectations, raising its forecast, and signing a massive $6 billion partnership with Amazon's cloud division. The excitement is spilling over into other big software names like ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir.

## Idea

Snowflake's blowout quarter and $6 billion AWS deal are proof that corporate AI spending is still accelerating fast. When a mega-cap software name moves this hard on earnings, it typically pulls other stocks in the same sector along for the ride over the following week. Goldman's equity strategist separately confirmed that earnings growth — especially AI-driven — is the main engine lifting the market right now. ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir haven't moved nearly as much as Snowflake yet, so there's room for catch-up. The key risk is that any negative turn in the Iran situation could knock sentiment, but strong corporate earnings have been trumping geopolitical fear all week.
