With the pullback, JMP analyst Patrick Walravens sees opportunity. Not only did he reiterate a market outperform rating on the SNOW stock, with a price target of $385, he noted:

“1) SNOW is disrupting the data management industry with its data cloud and cloud-native architecture; 2) the cloud data platform addresses an ~$90B TAM; 3) Snowflake is led by an A+ management team, including CEO Frank Slootman and CFO Mike Scarpelli; and 4) the company’s consumption model passes the benefits of platform enhancements to its customers, and while this dynamic impacts revenue at times, investors should understand that,” as reported by TheFly. com.
