The surge followed the release of earnings that showed strong bookings, a second‑half revenue re‑acceleration and a positive announcement involving Anthropic, as detailed by Morningstar and Investopedia. CNBC highlighted Jim Cramer’s view that the results overturn two bear narratives, while the Wall Street Journal framed the move as a possible end to a SaaS‑doom scenario.
