As of Jun 05, 2026. Market Open.
Key player within cloud and data centres. Cloud-based data storage with analytic solutions on top. Like a DDOG, but allows companies to manoeuvre more efficiently through the cloud. Owns it, but it's rich. His price target is ~$260-270.
He'd buy in around $246 and definitely just in front of $231-233. Your final third would be ~$215-220, at which point he'd absolutely recommend.
12-month price target of $225.41. Amazing turnaround. New CEO is an engineering guy, who really understands what SNOW is all about. Leading cloud-based data platform provider; helps data move seamlessly, faster, and with less energy. February earnings blew it out of the park, then got tangled up in tariff rhetoric.
If you own it, absolutely hold. If you don't, sell some puts (and you want to get taken anyway).
NOW has been under tremendous pressure after the recent earnings release due to a combination of CEO replacement (effective immediately) and weak forward guidance, SNOW is now expected to grow by more than 20% over the next few years.
Despite EBIT loss (largely due to stock-based compensation), SNOW generates healthy cash flow, on the trailing twelve-month basis, they actually repurchased shares quite meaningfully to offset SBC. Valuation is not cheap, trading at 20x Price/Sales. We think SNOW’s business model is solid, but would not be in a hurry to add here given the uncertainty in the forecast and management.
