"Positive on AI-driven 'strong' growth, investment bank Wedbush maintains Snowflake (SNOW.US) as 'outperforming the market' rating."

Notice that Wedbush Securities maintains an "outperform" rating on Snowflake (SNOW.US) and raises its target price from $190 to $210. Analysts believe that Snowflake's data processing and storage products continue to attract customers and are likely to gain a fair share of AI spending by 2025. Analyst Dan Ives wrote, "With the full deployment of the artificial intelligence revolution in 2025, many organizations are seeking to deploy a unified platform to securely develop and deploy large language models and machine learning models in a cloud environment, while providing comprehensive governance to ensure operations are carried out in the best way possible." "Snowflake has always been at the forefront of innovation with its cloud-based data platform, providing advanced data processing and storage capabilities, while seeking to simplify platform architectures for customers in various industries to easily access more data in this constantly growing data environment, while leveraging more AI use cases." Ives stated that under the leadership of CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy, Snowflake continues to innovate even in intense competition. This year, this advantage will truly shine as Snowflake's market share in the public cloud service market is expected to accelerate, reaching $2.3 trillion over the next decade. Ives added, "We believe Snowflake is a strong second-order participant in the AI revolution, fully capable of capitalizing on the growing demand for AI use cases, especially as more and more enterprises shift more workloads to the cloud in the next 12-18 months to support AI tools and products."
