Analyst Mike Cikos reiterated a Buy rating while lifting the price target from $216 to $225.

Snowflake’s quarterly results were “healthily above elevated expectations (following stabilizing growth from hyperscalers and a strong earnings print from Datadog),” Cikos said.

“Key to the call was Snowflake’s discussion of broad-based strength in Consumption, with trends continuing to build throughout 3QFY24 into October and November,” the analyst stated. “We view a stabilized/improving Consumption environment as driving Revenue upside in the short-term, while the company’s growing arsenal of new product introductions should begin to bear fruit over the medium-/longer-term,” he added.
