New opportunities in the Market: Snowflake
Snowflake shares lost
70% from their peaks in 2021. Snowflake’s “hot” IPO in 2020 was attended by the
famous Warren Buffet, an “Omaha Oracle”. However, investors, who missed this
IPO may not be concerned as Snowflake’s share prices returned to the IPO level
at $120 per share.
The company specialises
in large cloud-based data storage and analytics services. Users may exchange
data within the company’s cloud network that is expanding in a useful
ecosystem. Such solutions allow for the improvement of defected cloud
infrastructure. The market now contains a vast number of cloud-based
applications that are separated from each other, making corporate clients
uneasy to use them. Snowflake unites different applications and services inside
its ecosystem, which is a great added value for corporates.
The market of such
cloud-based solutions is estimated at $90 billion that ensures the company’s future
and expansion. The Q4 2022 fiscal year published in March 2022 revenues added
102% year-on-year to $383.7 million. The company has gained 14 Fortune 500 and
21 Global 2000 companies as its new clients. Existing clients brought the
company 78% extra revenue over the last three months of 2021. So, the company
has not only achieved passive expansion, but it also offers a well monetised
services to its existing clients.
For the first quarter
of the fiscal year 2023, Snowflake is projecting product revenue of $383
million to $388 million, up 79% to 81% from the fiscal year 2022.
The mid-term target
price for Bandwidth is expected to be at $160.
