Despite this, Snowflake shares have surged by 40.2% year-to-date, significantly outperforming both the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector (up 11.7%) and the Internet Software industry (down 11.4%).

In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Snowflake reported a total of 13,912 customers, adding 616 net new customers, representing a 38% year-over-year increase.

For the fiscal second quarter, revenue estimates stand at $1.47 billion, indicating a projected growth of 28.39%.
