  • For the full fiscal year 2026, the company added 2,332 net new customers and now serves more than 13,300 clients.
  • What really caught attention was Snowflake’s AI momentum.
  • The company’s Snowflake Intelligence platform, launched in November, has already been adopted by more than 2,500 customers in just three months, nearly doubling from the previous quarter.

CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy emphasized that AI is transforming the company from a data analytics platform into “the platform where customers build and run AI-native applications and workflows.”

  • The company also closed its $600 million acquisition of Observe, an observability platform, which extends Snowflake’s capabilities into the $50 billion IT operations market.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Snowflake Stock

The modest decline in Snowflake stock reflects broader investor anxiety about traditional software companies in the AI era rather than concerns about Snowflake’s actual performance.

However, Snowflake appears to be on the winning side of this transition.

The company’s remaining performance obligations surged 42% year-over-year to $9.77 billion, marking the second consecutive quarter of improvement.

This massive backlog of bookings suggests customers are making long-term commitments to the platform.

  • The $400 million contract, in particular, represents a maturity milestone showing Snowflake has evolved from a data warehousing solution into a comprehensive enterprise platform.
  • Net revenue retention remained healthy at 125%, indicating that existing customers are significantly expanding their usage.
  • The company now has 733 customers spending more than $1 million annually, up 27% year-over-year, and 56 customers above the $10 million threshold, up 56% year-over-year.
