The report helped calm some fears about persistent inflation and offered modest relief for markets. Shares of data analytics company Snowflake surged 35% after a strong quarterly report Wednesday night. "That was one of the most pronounced pivots I've seen in ages," Jim said, praising CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy for shifting Snowflake from a "plain vanilla software" company into a more AI-focused business.
But Jim said the biggest takeaway from the quarter is what it signals for Club holding Amazon . Snowflake disclosed a roughly $6 billion commitment to Amazon Web Services, expanding its use of Amazon's custom Graviton chips and AI computing infrastructure. "One of the things that makes fly is because they bought Amazon chips," Jim said.

The deal reinforced Jim's confidence in Amazon's growing custom chip business after previously questioning whether the chips would hold their value over time. He added that investors should use Thursday's slight pullback in Amazon shares as a buying opportunity. Club holding Starbucks is showing signs of improvement in a key area of its turnaround: afternoon traffic.
Jim pointed to new CNBC reporting that said visits to U. coffee shops after 2 p. are growing , especially during the 3 p.
Management identified strengthening afternoon sales as critical to better leverage staffing levels and improve profitability. "It's time, if you don't own Starbucks, to buy some Starbucks," Jim said, adding he sees the stock reaching $120, implying roughly 17% upside from current levels. Stocks covered in Thursday's rapid fire at the end of the video were: CVS , Eli Lilly , and Marvell .
Financial markets are tracking the development closely as investors assess the likely impact.
