Trade Ideas

AI server demand driving 40% topline growth
Dell is benefiting from a massive infrastructure upgrade cycle as enterprises run more AI workloads, prompting the company to guide to nearly 40% topline growth. This is a fundamental reset of expectations after years of mid-single-digit growth, driven by a new line of AI servers that didn't exist two years ago.

Agentic AI boosts database queries
Snowflake is positioned to benefit from the rise of agentic AI because agent deployment requires connecting enterprise databases, driving more queries. Additionally, Snowflake's own coding agent launch aligns with the key software category emerging from LLMs, making the company a winner in the AI-driven SaaS landscape.
