Snowflake Downgraded by Wolfe Research due to Changed Competitive Landscape and Market Overhangs

Data company Snowflake has seen its growth prospects reduced due to ongoing macro overhangs and a shift in the competitive landscape. Despite strong product offerings and management, Wolfe Research analyst Alex Zukin downgraded Snowflake shares to peer perform from outperform. Zukin removed his previous price target of $160, citing the current valuation leaving little room for error. Snowflake shares closed at $147.91 on Thursday.

While Zukin still regards Snowflake as having the best management team in software and the best software-as-a-service product, he noted a reduction in expected growth due to increasing competition from Databricks and Microsoft. Growth of large language models and generative AI applications are responsible for the shift in enterprise data storage and data infrastructure.

The market has responded with Snowflake shares dropping 0.6% before Friday’s trading bell, leaving shares up just 3% so far in 2023. Last year the stock recorded 16% gains. Zukin said he sought better visibility of near and long term growth at Snowflake’s current valuation.
