Salesforce faces AI disruption and slow growth.
Salesforce's revenue outlook fell short of estimates, AI tools contribute less than 2% of revenue, and the company lacks clear growth acceleration. This raises unresolved concerns about AI disruption and terminal values in software, making Salesforce unattractive.

Snowflake is an AI-driven growth winner.
Snowflake has successfully transitioned from a data warehouse company to an AI data cloud, demonstrated by raising revenue guidance to above 30% and signing a $6 billion deal with Amazon AWS. This positions Snowflake as a winner in the software sector embracing AI, with accelerating growth already visible.
