Behind the Scenes of Snowflake's Latest Options Trends

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives discusses the benefits for software companies from the AI spending phase.
In recent weeks, the analyst has been tracking enterprise AI spending in 2025, focusing on use cases and identifying leading vendors. AI now makes up about 12% of many IT budgets, up from 10% in January, with some CIOs accelerating their AI strategies.
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips and cloud providers are central to AI deployments, and for every $1 spent on Nvidia, there is an $8-$10 impact across the broader tech ecosystem.
Around 70% of companies have increased their AI budgets, signaling rapid tech spending despite economic uncertainties.

The analyst has been tracking AI adoption across industries like financial services, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing.
Many IT departments are focusing on large-scale AI deployments with Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Alphabet Inc&#8216;s Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), targeting software-driven use cases.
While customers were still in the strategy phase in late 2024, there is a shift in recent weeks, with high-priority AI use cases now being rapidly implemented across various sectors in 2025. Amid the widespread buzz in the software industry about monetizing AI, a select group of companies is beginning to stand out from the crowd.
The software sector is poised for significant growth as the AI Revolution accelerates, with the adoption of generative AI and LLM models becoming key drivers.
The analyst sees Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) and Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) as top software plays amid the AI Revolution for 2025, with other vendors like Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>), Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), Elastic N.V.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEGA#NASDAQ">PEGA</a>) also well-positioned.
IBM&#8217;s cloud penetration has been particularly successful, presenting a major monetization opportunity. Despite investor skepticism, the analyst said the accelerating AI adoption in enterprises will benefit the software industry in 2025. The analyst also added IBM to the Wedbush Best Ideas List, reflecting higher confidence.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With SNOW

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has reportedly been discovered to be profiting from its Llama AI models through revenue-sharing agreements with host businesses.
What Happened: An unredacted court filing submitted by attorneys for the plaintiffs in the copyright lawsuit Kadrey v. Meta reveals that the company earns a share of the revenue from businesses that host its Llama AI models. The lawsuit indicates that the company reportedly trained its Llama models using pirated e-books.
The filing does not specify which hosts pay Meta, but the company has previously listed partners including Amazon&#8217;s AWS, Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Databricks, Groq, Dell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NASDAQ">DELL</a>), Microsoft Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) Azure, Alphabet&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Cloud, and Snowflake (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>). While developers can download and run Llama models independently, many choose to use a host partner for additional services and tooling.
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Meta CEO&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg suggested the possibility of monetizing Llama models during an earnings call in April, hinting that companies reselling these services should share a portion of their revenue with Meta. However, Zuckerberg later backtracked and in a July blog post, the Meta CEO stated, "selling access" to Meta's openly available Llama AI models "isn't [Meta's] business model."
The recent revelation of these revenue-sharing agreements contradicts the company&#8217;s latest stance and suggests that Meta has begun to act on its previous strategy.

Why It Matters: This revelation comes just days after Zuckerberg announced that Meta&#8217;s Llama model had reached a milestone of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44393122/mark-zuckerberg-announces-that-metas-llama-model-hits-1-billion-downloads-each-llama-download-represents-a-vote-of-confidence-in-open-source-ai-says-vp">1 billion downloads</a>. Zuckerberg celebrated this achievement on Threads, stating that each download represented a &#8220;vote of confidence in open source AI&#8221;. The new court filing, however, raises questions about Meta&#8217;s revenue strategy and the company&#8217;s transparency with its partners and users.
Zuckerberg stated that Meta benefits from Llama mainly through AI research-driven improvements. Llama models power various Meta products, including its AI assistant, Meta AI. Despite ongoing legal battles, Meta continues to advance its AI investments. The Zuckerberg-led company also intends to launch a trial paid subscription service for Meta AI, offering users access to advanced versions of its technology.
Meta holds a momentum rating of 78.90% and a growth rating of 77.28%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/report/META" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Renowned short-seller Jim Chanos has taken aim at Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) executives for what he perceives as hypocrisy in their public messaging versus private actions.
What Happened: &#8220;Palantir management continues to ridicule the skeptics on their stock price&#8230;while they keep selling material amounts of shares,&#8221; Chanos wrote on X, responding to news of significant insider selling.
Stephen Cohen, Palantir&#8217;s President, and Co-founder executed a substantial stock sale between Mar. 12-17, divesting 4.06 million shares worth approximately $328 million, according to The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
The data analytics company, known for its software used by intelligence agencies and commercial clients, has drawn investor attention due to these large transactions, particularly given its premium valuation metrics. 
Palantir currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 463, while the stock has declined nearly 30% over the past month, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why It Matters: This criticism comes amid a broader market debate about Palantir&#8217;s growth prospects. Martin Shkreli, the controversial former hedge fund manager, recently questioned but ultimately defended Palantir&#8217;s projections. Shkreli challenged the common analysis that <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44294672/palantirs-4-million-arpc-estimate-flawed-says-pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-but-i-wouldnt-bet-against-them">only about 20,000 companies</a> can afford Palantir&#8217;s $4 million data analytics suite, arguing that the software might generate positive returns regardless of budget constraints, and that per-seat pricing could expand market reach.
Despite these discussions, Palantir has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44212796/palantir-joins-sp-100-after-ai-driven-rally-stock-surges-almost-60-since-trump-victory">performed well since November</a>, surging over 55% following President Donald Trump&#8216;s election victory. The company was recently added to the S&amp;P 100 index, replacing Dow Inc., effective Mar. 24.
Recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">analyst price targets</a> from Wedbush Securities, Loop Capital, and Citigroup average $123.67, suggesting a 46% upside potential from current levels, despite Shkreli&#8217;s acknowledgment of competitive threats from Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), Databricks, and AI startups.

A Closer Look at Snowflake's Options Market Dynamics

Martin Shkreli, the controversial former hedge fund manager known as &#8220;Pharma Bro,&#8221; questioned but ultimately defended Palantir Technologies Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) growth projections on Wednesday, calling analysis of the company&#8217;s $4 million average revenue per customer &#8220;flawed.&#8221;
What Happened: Shkreli noted that a common analysis of Palantir suggests only around 20,000 companies can afford its $4 million data analytics suite. He pointed out that some valuation models assume every one of these companies will adopt Palantir&#8217;s services by 2035, justifying its current valuation.
Shkreli, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43485885/pharma-bro-martin-shkreli-defends-palantirs-valuation-amid-24-surge-says-ai-firms-cash-flow-justifies-expensive-price">previously projected Palantir&#8217;s cash flow</a> from operations would reach $1.8 billion in 2025, countered that the analysis overlooks key factors. 
He noted that Palantir&#8217;s software might generate a positive return on investment regardless of budget constraints, its per-seat pricing model could expand market reach, and the company will likely diversify its product offerings.
