Snowflake just reported blowout earnings and signed a massive $6 billion deal with Amazon's AWS. The stock is up 35% in one day, and the excitement is spilling over into other big software and AI-related companies like ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir.

## Idea

Snowflake's 35% single-day surge on strong AI-driven earnings and a landmark $6 billion AWS partnership is creating a wave of optimism across the entire software sector. When one major cloud/AI stock moves this dramatically, investors often rotate money into related names that haven't popped yet — looking for the next winner. Goldman Sachs' top equity strategist is also pointing to strong earnings growth broadly pushing stocks higher, with AI gains expected to widen beyond just a few names. That sets up a classic coattails trade: ride the momentum in the software names being pulled higher by Snowflake's gravity.
