Brent Bracelin of Piper Sandler began coverage of Snowflake with an overweight rating and a $264 price target, citing the company’s new cloud-native software layer, that Bracelin believes has the potential to redefine and modernize the enterprise data stack.

According to the analyst, a premium valuation is warranted for longer-term oriented investors looking out 3-5 years based on several factors. He cited “triple-digit growth last quarter at $0.5 billion revenue scale, a proven leadership team stacked with A-plus talent and a clear path to multi-billion dollar revenue run-rate within two years.”
