For the full year, the company sees product revenue at $2.6B, which represents a 34% year-over-year growth.
BTIG analysts said the results were solid.
"We have to acknowledge that SNOW’s long-term story is compelling on multiple levels. But with the stock trading at over 14.5x CY’24E EV/sales for ~30% growth potential, we see a balanced risk/reward. Maintain Neutral."
MoffettNathanson analysts said the results suggest that the tone is improving before results.
"Snowflake is perceived to be well-positioned to be the data management layer underlying AI, and good demand for GPUs (chips) for AI today likely leads to good demand for data management in the coming quarters," they wrote.
