Snowflake stock price target raised to $285 from $275 at KeyBanc

Investing.com - KeyBanc raised its price target on Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) to $285 from $275 while maintaining an Overweight rating on the stock. The new target sits just above the current price of $265, with the stock trading near its 52-week high of $280.67 after surging 71.62% year-to-date, according to InvestingPro data.

The price target increase follows what KeyBanc described as a "solid" third-quarter product revenue beat, though the firm noted it was likely about 1 percentage point below expectations. This performance comes amid Snowflake’s continued revenue growth of 28.37% over the last twelve months.

KeyBanc highlighted that bookings were "notably strong," increasing 50% year-over-year, which represents an acceleration from approximately 30% year-over-year growth in the first half of the fiscal year. The growth was supported by four nine-figure expansion deals.

The firm pointed out that Snowflake’s fourth-quarter product revenue guidance was seasonally stronger than the prior two years and approximately 2 percentage points above consensus, which KeyBanc believes likely reflects positive consumption and migration trends quarter-to-date.

KeyBanc remains positive on Snowflake benefiting from organizations’ AI initiatives and its broadening platform, seeing opportunity for reacceleration exiting fiscal year 2026. While currently not profitable with an EPS of -$4.15, InvestingPro data shows analysts expect profitability this fiscal year.
