Snowflake's stock soared 5.02% during intraday trading on Friday, reflecting strong investor optimism toward the data cloud company.
The surge follows positive analyst sentiment with multiple investment banks maintaining buy ratings on Snowflake. CICC recently maintained its outperform rating with a $280 target price, noting AI-driven revenue acceleration with FY27 Q1 revenue growing 33% year-over-year above expectations. Deutsche Bank and UBS have also raised their target prices to $300 and $370 respectively, both maintaining buy ratings.
Additionally, Bank of America listed Snowflake among its top five tech stock picks for the second half, while ARK Invest has been actively adding to its position. Fundamentally, the company signed a five-year $6 billion strategic partnership with AWS, and its platform strategy shift toward agentic AI — including Cortex Code and Cowork agents — is expected to drive long-term differentiation and monetization opportunities.
