Expectations

Wall Street Expectations

Overall expectations for Snowflake's upcoming earnings are cautious, given the lack of analyst estimates and management guidance. Investors are keen to see if the company can sustain its recent performance and growth trajectory.

The optimistic view hinges on Snowflake continuing to show strong revenue growth and customer acquisition, potentially leading to a positive market reaction.

Bear Case

The pessimistic view suggests that any signs of slowing growth or disappointing customer metrics could lead to a significant drop in the stock price.

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the reported revenue growth rate for this quarter?

Investors will closely monitor revenue growth as a key indicator of the company's performance and market demand.

How many new customers did Snowflake acquire this quarter?

Customer acquisition is critical for sustaining growth, and any slowdown could raise concerns among investors.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

The Street may be underestimating Snowflake's ability to sustain high growth rates due to its unique product offerings and market position.

Supporting Evidence

Despite mixed reactions, the overall trend shows resilience in customer growth.
