From Data To Insights: Snowflake’s AI Evolution And Investment Potential
Summary:
- Snowflake’s stock struggled earlier in the year due to disappointing FY 2025 guidance and CEO Frank Slootman’s retirement.
- New CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy’s AI expertise aims to close the gap with Databricks and achieve Snowflake’s ambitious $10 billion revenue goal by FY 2029.
- Snowflake Cortex enhances data workflows with AI but lacks the advanced functionality of Databricks Mosaic AI, necessitating further investment in AI capabilities.
- A strategic partnership with Anthropic aims to integrate advanced LLMs, enhancing Snowflake’s AI offerings and potentially driving significant ROI for customers.
