Big downtrend, trying to break it. $124 is a critical level for this stock; if it can get above, suggests that the stock will take off afterwards. If you own, definitely don't sell. If looking to buy, watch over the next month.
He'd rather pay more for a stock on confirmation that it's working, than try to catch the bottom. So here, he'd rather pay $130, than pay $119 and watch it go down to $100.
Cloud-based, data platform provider. Infrastructure and platform as a service. Also AI machine-learning integration. Chart shows how it's rolled over. Change in the CEO, and then the CRWD data breach. Very deep pockets, $3B in cash. Profitable, free cashflow. Never seems to lose customers. In acquisition mode. 41% haircut this year, great value. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $172.36)
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.
