What SNOW does

Cloud data platform that lets companies store, share and analyze huge datasets, now adding AI tools.

Charges by consumption: customers commit to a block of capacity on contract and draw it down as they store and process data, so revenue follows how much work runs on the platform. It runs on top of the big public clouds rather than owning data centers, and listed in 2020.

Products and services

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Enterprise software
  • Cloud data warehousing/platform
  • Data storage/compute + data sharing +…

What could go right

  • Data + AI workload consumption growth
  • Cross-cloud data-sharing adoption

What could go wrong

  • Consumption-based revenue volatility
  • Intensifying competition from Databricks

Moat: narrow (switching costs, network effects). Migrating large production data warehouses is costly, and data-sharing network effects add stickiness.

Is SNOW expensive compared with its peers?

For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 41% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +51%, so the hurdle is -10 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has SNOW stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +81.0% against +6.0% for the median peer; over one year +4.2%.
What is SNOW's backlog?
SNOW's remaining performance obligations (contracted revenue not yet recognised) were $9.00B at 31 Jul 2026, +30% on a year earlier.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
