BofA Securities analyst Brad Sills disclosed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/software" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">software spending survey</a> on Tuesday.
Since his last survey in December, Sills&#8217; IT professionals&#8217; survey suggested that software spending growth intentions have come down a bit for the second half of 2025 and 2026. Software spending is expected to grow +9.9% for 2025, down 100 basis points from his December survey, and +10.8% for 2026, down 40 basis points. He said this aligns with management and channel commentary that changing macro policies are muddling the demand environment.
However, Sills&#8217; survey still suggests an improving backdrop in 2026, which is backed by channel feedback that pipelines for new software projects remain healthy.
The analyst noted that Data Analytics regained the top spot as a spending priority, trading places with Cloud Communications and Videoconferencing, which slipped to second place. Security held the third position, he said. Sills said other categories with notably higher spending expectations include observability and financials/ERP.
Sills noted that the lower-scoring categories were front-office applications such as CRM Sales, Marketing, and Support. He suggested that this could be due to firms evaluating AI priorities for front-office application projects.
For Analytics, Security, and Public Cloud, Sills noted the positive data supports his thesis for Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), and Datadog Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDOG#NASDAQ">DDOG</a>), which are well positioned in these categories.
The analyst said Infrastructure and Back Office were the top software categories for AI investment (across Infrastructure, Back Office, Front Office, and Desktop Applications).
Back Office saw the largest increase since his year-end fiscal 2024 survey, he said. After LLMs, Workday Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NASDAQ">WDAY</a>) was the most selected, Sills noted.
The analyst noted that after LLMs, Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) registered the highest number of front-office vendors in which respondents plan to invest in AI offerings.
Front office apps scored lower for the second consecutive survey, Sills noted.
The lower result reflects that firms remain in the discovery phase, as pricing models for agentic offerings such as Salesforce&#8217;s Agentforce and HubSpot Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) Breeze AI agents are evolving, per the analyst.
Sills noted that Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS, Microsoft, and Alphabet Inc&#8216;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 were the most frequently selected vendors for AI in infrastructure.
The analyst said Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) remains the market leader in AI investments in desktop applications.
Hiring expectations are down for 2025, again, Sills noted, and recession expectations are fairly high. DOGE is impacting spending plans more so than tariffs, leading to a lower weighted average spending as per the survey.

Price Action: Snowflake stock closed at $210.17 on June 2, up 2.19%. After hours, it rose slightly to $210.20. Year to date, the stock is up 33.43%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Snowflake To Acquire Crunchy Data; Terms Undisclosed

Apple&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) former designer and a key mind behind the first iPhone, Jony Ive says the hardest part of creativity isn't dreaming up lofty ideas, it&#8217;s having the nerve to drop most of them — a lesson he learnt from Steve Jobs.
What Happened: In a 2014 on-stage conversation with Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, Apple's then–design chief recalled the single lesson Steve Jobs drilled into him: relentless focus. "This sounds really simplistic, but it still shocks me how few people actually practice this," Ive told the New Establishment Summit crowd.
Jobs, whom Jony Ive called "the most remarkably focused person I've ever met," kept score with a blunt question: "How many things have you said no to?" Ive confessed he sometimes produced "sacrificial" examples — projects he never liked anyway, only to be caught. True focus, he explained, means saying no &#8220;to something that, with every bone in your body, you think is a phenomenal idea,&#8221; because it distracts from the mission at hand.

</div>
</figure>
The clip has resurfaced online as a pocket-sized master class in priority-setting, racking up millions of impressions on X and LinkedIn posts that repeat Ive's warning that focus is an "every-minute" discipline, not a Monday-morning resolution.

The mantra helps explain why Apple routinely axed promising prototypes, an approach former Wall Street Journal editor Walter Isaacson says let Jobs spend &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/04/38403093/steve-jobs-spent-hour-after-hour-on-product-design-he-cared-about-god-being-in-the-details-says-walt">hour after hour</a>&#8221; on seemingly the smallest bits of product design that made products iconic.
Why It Matters: Other CEOs have since borrowed the mantra. Salesforce's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) Marc Benioff credits a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45559653/steve-jobs-once-invited-marc-benioff-to-his-office-with-two-ipads-in-2010-the-lesson-that-shaped-a-270-billion-salesforce-empire">2010 chat with Jobs</a> for sharpening his own product discipline. Disney's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) Bob Iger received a different kind of counsel as Jobs urged him to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40787212/steve-jobs-urged-bob-iger-to-retire-and-enjoy-life-before-its-too-late-heres-how-that-advice-shaped">retire and enjoy life</a> before it's too late, advice the executive says still frames how he paces his tenure at the entertainment giant.
Apple&#8217;s chief Tim Cook recalls that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42090539/tim-cook-goes-from-small-town-to-ceo-of-worlds-largest-company-why-he-believes-in-asking-lots-of-questions">Jobs&#8217; parting words</a>, shared the night before his death, were simply to do what he thought was right when it came to leading Apple.
Snowflake&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) Frank Slootman had his own key takeaway from Jobs&#8217; management philosophies. Slootman believes the late Jobs always either found a product &#8220;insanely great&#8221; or &#8220;sh&#x2A;t&#8221; and that approach ensured there was never any <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/25/05/45604617/steve-jobs-wasnt-happy-unless-things-were-insanely-great-and-thats-why-this-tech-ceo-is-passionate-about-moving-mental-boundaries-that-withhold-pe">room for mediocrity</a> within the company&#8217;s walls.

 CRH PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRH#NYSE">CRH</a>): The building materials company saw strong interest from Benzinga readers during the week. There was minimal news for the company outside of a recent quarterly financial report in early May. The company <a href="https://www.crh.com/media/press-releases/2025/crh-q1-2025-results">reported </a>revenue growth of 3% year-over-year with a figure that beat Street estimates. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share. Bernstein initiated coverage on the stock with an Outperform rating shortly after financial results. CRH CEO Jim Mintern said the first quarter results showed strength and highlighted the company's differentiated strategy and recent acquisitions.
"Although the first quarter is typically the seasonally least significant period for our business, we are encouraged by the continued strength of underlying demand across our key markets," Mintern said.

10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) chief executive Frank Slootman says he runs his companies on the mantra the late Steve Jobs loved: a product is either "insanely great" or it's &#8220;total sh&#x2A;t.&#8221;
What Happened: By erasing the gray zone, Slootman argues, leaders bulldoze mediocrity and force teams to stretch for greatness. His point lands because it echoes Jobs' own famously binary worldview
Jobs deployed the phrase inside Apple to keep designers laser-focused on polish, down to "the curve of the head of a screw." The maxim has survived long after his death and leadership writers still cite the line as shorthand for non-negotiable standards.
Slootman tells his staff that if work isn't "insanely great," he politely labels it "total sh&#x2A;t" and sends it back for re-work. He pushes people to "love what we produce, not just like it," insisting passion "moves mental boundaries."
See also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45604065/former-google-boss-eric-schmidt-says-ai-will-only-exacerbate-the-blurred-lines-between-online-perception-and-reality">Eric Schmidt Says He Often Meets People Who Can&#8217;t Tell Apart The Real World From The Online One, Now The Ex-Google Boss Is Warning AI Will Only Make It Worse</a>
The bigger threat, he says, is not obvious laggards but comfortable &#8220;B players.&#8221; &#8220;Mediocrity is the silent killer… B players need to be pared; they either become A players, or they become C players and get flushed out.&#8221; Slootman argues Jobs' two-bucket scale is memorable, instantly understood and impossible to wiggle around: &#8220;Refusing mediocre outcomes&#8221; forces teams to raise their game or self-select out.
Why It Matters: Management thinkers note that clear, absolute language can jolt organizations out of complacency, much like Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, who, according to an <a href="https://www.inc.com/jim-schleckser/why-netflix-doesn-t-tolerate-brilliant-jerks.html">account</a> by Inc.com, tells managers to fire "brilliant jerks" because "the cost to effective teamwork is too high."
Billionaire Elon Musk embraces a similar extremism. "Nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week," he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/03/37594114/elon-musk-once-stated-nobody-ever-changed-the-world-on-40-hours-a-week-but-now-the-average-emplo">once told workers</a>, pressing them toward 80-hour sprints. Jeff Bezos keeps Amazon's bar high by spending "about a third of the interview asking… can you hire great people?" — a decades-old practice meant to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43930484/jeff-bezos-knew-great-hiring-was-crucial-because-he-used-to-ascertain-one-key-thing-in-interviews-now-amazon-has-dropped-6-must-know-secrets-to-landing-a-job-at-the-tech-giant-in-2025">block average talent</a> at the door.

Shares of Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) rallied after the company Wednesday reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45553121/snowflake-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-ai-data-cloud-company-sees-25-growth-ahead-shares-climb">first-quarter results</a>.
The announcement came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Piper Sandler On Snowflake
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e4055351b9b00018beeab/brent-bracelin">Analyst Brent Bracelin</a> reiterated an Overweight rating, while raising the price target from $175 to $215.
Snowflake's total revenue surpassed $1 billion in the first quarter, driven by "another quarter of strong execution and better-than-expected contribution from new products," Bracelin said in a note. Large deal momentum continued, with the company inking two deals worth more than $100 million during the quarter, he added.
These deals contributed to Snowflake's healthy backlog metrics, with cRPO (current remaining performance obligation) accelerating to 31% year-on-year, from the previous quarter's 27%, the analyst stated. "Management has not yet witnessed any negative macro impacts, partially attributable to a more mature customer base, and even cited strong customer net adds (451 vs. 357 one year ago)," he further wrote.
Stifel On Snowflake
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/585beadbb5a482000151d186/brad-reback">Analyst Brad Reback</a> maintained a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $210 to $220.
Snowflake posted a strong quarter, with growth in product revenue accelerating to 4%, from 3% in the previous quarter, Reback said. This was driven by "outperformance from newer products (Snowpark, Dynamic tables), no tangible impact from the macro, and broad-based consumption strength," he added.
The company's operating margins came in better than expected, with operating expenses growing only 15% year-on-year, a sharp deceleration from 36% in the first quarter of the last fiscal year, the analyst stated. With Snowflake yet to reap "the full benefits from the R&amp;D hiring changes," the current margin gains appear sustainable, he further wrote.
JMP Securities On Snowflake
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846fffaee7bf6000154d141/patrick-walravens">Analyst Patrick Walravens</a> reaffirmed a Market Outperform rating, while raising the price target from $201 to $245.
Snowflake reported total revenue of $1.04 billion, beating consensus of $1.01 billion, Walravens said. The company's non-GAAP earnings of 24 cents per share surpassed expectations of 21 cents per share, he added.
The company's second-quarter guidance came in better than expected, with product revenue of $1.035-$1.040 billion above consensus $1.021 billion, representing 25% year-on-year growth and non-GAAP operating margin of 8% ahead of consensus of 7%, the analyst stated. "Snowflake addresses a huge opportunity that is expected to double to $342B in 2028 from $152B in 2023," he further wrote.

Truist Securities On Snowflake
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/57fdefd3ac6af40001334e3e/joel-fishbein">Analyst Joel Fishbein</a> reiterated a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $210 to $235.
Snowflake delivered a strong beat and raise quarter, "driven by both core momentum and the adoption of new workloads," Fishbein said. Management raised their fiscal 2026 product revenue growth guidance to 25%, from their prior projection of 24%, he added.
"We did not hear signs of macro uncertainty impacting consumption on the call and believe that they are establishing the foundation of a strong go to market motion in the emerging AI landscape," the analyst further wrote.
Oppenheimer On Snowflake
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5937f6b185b07a0001ac364f/ittai-kidron">Analyst Ittai Kidron</a> maintained an Outperform rating, while raising the price target from $201 to $225.
Snowflake delivered strong quarterly results, driven by "broad-based demand and steady consumption trends," Kidron said. The company's total customers grew by 18.9% year-on-year to 11,578 in the quarter, he added.
"In addition, better-than-expected Snowpark and Dynamic Tables activity and strong AI adoption (5,200+ accounts) suggest that newer products are resonating with customers," the analyst wrote. He named Snowflake as a top pick.
Rosenblatt Securities On Snowflake
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60081c88879cba00010420fb/blair-abernethy">Analyst Blair Abernethy</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $205 to $210.
Snowflake reported margins of 9%, versus Rosenblatt's 5% estimate, on the back of its revenue beat and ongoing efficiency improvements, Abernethy said. Snowflake had strong renewals during the quarter, including two deals worth over $100 million each, he added.
The company's trailing NRR (net revenue retention) remained healthy, at 124%, the analyst stated. "We believe Snowflake's much improved product development cadence last year is clearly resonating with existing customers, driving increasing consumption levels," he further wrote.
Needham On Snowflake
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/601a8839a6fe6f00010c6966/mike-cikos">Analyst Mike Cikos</a> reiterated a Buy rating, while lifting the price target from $215 to $230.
Snowflake outperformed its revenue guidance by $36.8 million and raised its full-year outlook by $45 million, Cikos said. For the second quarter, the company's revenue guidance came in $15.1 million above consensus, he added.
"Investors are hunting for high-growth companies, and we believe Snowflake&#8217;s updated FY26 Revenue outlook for 25% yr-yr growth answers the call," the analyst wrote. GenAI is likely to be "a long-term secular tailwind to Snowflake&#8217;s growth," he further stated.
SNOW Price Action: Shares of Snowflake had risen by 10.3% to $197.55 at the time of publication on Thursday.
