At a share price of $224.36, Snowflake’s recent 1 day share price return of 3.53% and 1 year total shareholder return of 41.25% indicate that momentum has been rebuilding after weaker 3 month share price performance of negative 10.33%, as investors react to contract wins and billings trends.

If Snowflake’s recent contract traction has caught your eye, this could be a moment to size up other high growth tech and AI names through high growth tech and AI stocks.

With Snowflake trading at $224.36, a value score of 1, and a discount of 26% to the average analyst price target, you have to ask yourself: is this genuine mispricing, or is the market already accounting for future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 20.4% Undervalued

With Snowflake last closing at $224.36 against a narrative fair value of about $281.73, the story leans toward underpricing, which hinges heavily on how future earnings power is framed.

“In order for you to agree with the analyst's consensus, you'd need to believe that by 2028, revenues will be $7.8 billion, earnings will come to $497.5 million, and it would be trading on a PE ratio of 224.7x, assuming you use a discount rate of 8.8%.”

Read the complete narrative.

Curious what kind of revenue build, margin shift, and rich future P/E need to line up to support that fair value? The full narrative spells out the growth curve, profitability swing, and valuation multiple that have to come together for Snowflake to match those expectations.

Result: Fair Value of $281.73 (UNDERVALUED)

Another Angle On Valuation

Those fair value narratives suggest upside, but the current P/S ratio of 17.5x tells a different story. It is far above the US IT industry average of 2.2x and also above Snowflake’s own fair ratio of 13x. This points to meaningful valuation risk if sentiment cools. Which signal do you trust more?
