Everyone thinks Snowflake & Databricks face tough competition, but here's why that's not the case: ➝ They run on every major cloud platform. AWS, Azure, Google - doesn't matter. ➝ Cloud providers literally invest money to get their business. Bullish on both of these companies in perpetuity

Easy to call Klarna's AI savings "measly" when you look at it relative to their overall cost structure. But look at it a different way: how much did it "cost" to achieve the $39m in savings for 2024. That's an ROI C-Suite execs will take every time
