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

## Idea

Snowflake's 35% single-day surge is the kind of move that drags an entire sector along with it. When one major cloud-software name explodes on AI demand and a landmark $6 billion Amazon deal, investors immediately rotate into the next closest peers — ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir all moved higher today. These stocks tend to keep running for several days after an initial catalyst because fund managers who missed Snowflake look for 'second-derivative' plays. The AI spending theme is so strong right now that even Goldman Sachs just raised its S&P target specifically because of earnings power from AI.
