Snowflake just reported blowout earnings, raised its annual forecast, and signed a massive $6 billion partnership with Amazon's cloud division. The stock is soaring 35% and pulling other big software companies higher with it.

## Idea

Snowflake's earnings blowout isn't just a one-stock story — it's confirming that corporate spending on AI tools is accelerating faster than Wall Street expected. When a sector leader gaps up this sharply, money managers often rotate into the next-best names in the same group that haven't moved as much yet. ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir all get pulled along because they're in the same 'enterprise AI software' bucket that institutions are chasing right now. That catch-up effect can last several days to a couple of weeks.
