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

## Idea

When one major software stock explodes on AI-related earnings, investors immediately look for the next beneficiaries and pile into peers. Snowflake's 35% surge and $6 billion AWS deal are the kind of catalysts that keep money flowing into the whole sector for days, not just one session. ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir all rode the wave today, but they haven't moved nearly as much as Snowflake yet — that gap usually narrows as the week goes on. This 'catch-up' pattern has repeated multiple times during the AI rally of the past two years.
