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

## Idea

When a mega-cap software name like Snowflake gaps up 35% on a blowout earnings report, it rarely stays isolated — traders immediately rotate into other software and AI names that could tell a similar growth story. ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir all moved higher alongside Snowflake today. These 'sympathy' moves tend to have legs because fund managers who missed Snowflake's pop look for the next-best way to add AI-software exposure. The $6 billion Amazon deal also validates that cloud-AI spending is accelerating industry-wide, which benefits the whole group.
