Analysts appear to have a positive view of software stock Snowflake (SNOW), as they see strong growth potential ahead. Indeed, five-star Jefferies analyst Brent Thill recently raised his price target on the stock from $220 to $250 and kept a Buy rating.

Separately, five-star analyst William Power from Baird also reiterated a Buy rating on Snowflake and pointed to several reasons for his bullish view. To begin with, the company’s new Cortex/AI product is expected to drive future growth, and Snowflake’s focus on improving data access and analytics gives it an edge in today’s data-driven world. At the same time, Snowflake is expanding its distribution network and strengthening its sales strategies. Another growth driver is the Gen2 Warehouses offering, which provides faster computing and better pricing.
In addition, five-star Stifel Nicolaus analyst Brad Reback shared this optimism and maintained a Buy rating after the user conference. Reback noted that customers and partners are increasingly choosing Snowflake over competitors like Databricks for data science, engineering, and machine learning projects. Customers also gave very positive feedback on Snowpark, and many are excited about Openflow, which is a new tool that could remove the need for older middleware ETL platforms. Finally, Snowflake continues to lead in its core SQL business while gaining traction in newer tech.
