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)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).
Growing faster than expected: total revenues +27%, product revenue 28%. They guided 8% margin expansion, and this is the story going forward. It's been volatile, but are positioned well for 2025. They announced a partnership with MSFT.
