On September 2, Snowflake fell 3.4% in regular trading, trading at $311.07/share, with turnover of approximately $143 million. The decline came as the company prepares to release its fiscal second-quarter earnings after the close, with sector-wide weakness and recent insider selling adding pressure.
Snowflake is scheduled to report Q2 results after market close, with consensus estimates calling for revenue of approximately $1.482 billion, representing year-over-year growth of about 36.2%, and adjusted earnings per share of roughly $0.45. The broader Internet Services and Infrastructure sector traded notably lower, with MongoDB falling 13.32%, Cloudflare declining 1.91%, and Okta dropping 1.41%, creating a challenging backdrop for sentiment.
Additionally, director Benoit Dageville has conducted consecutive rounds of share sales in recent months. In late August, he sold 50,000 shares and gifted 16,668 shares, cashing out approximately $15.47 million at a price of $309.44 per share. A similar transaction occurred in late July at $280 per share. The repeated insider disposals have further weighed on near-term market sentiment heading into the earnings release.
