Snowflake just reported blowout earnings driven by AI demand and a massive $6 billion partnership with Amazon's cloud division. The stock is soaring 35%, and it's pulling other software companies like ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir up with it.

## Idea

When a marquee tech name like Snowflake gaps up 35% on earnings, fund managers who missed the move often rotate into the same sector rather than chasing the stock that already popped. ServiceNow, Oracle, and Palantir all trade in the same enterprise-software basket and are already ticking higher on Snowflake's coattails. Historically, these sector-wide momentum bursts after a bellwether earnings beat persist for several sessions as money flows from growth funds into the group. The $6 billion Amazon partnership also validates the entire AI-software spending thesis, not just Snowflake alone.
