Snowflake (SNOW) shares plummeted 5.14% during Tuesday's intraday trading session, marking a significant decline for the data cloud company.
The drop comes despite the company's announcement of new AI product upgrades designed to accelerate enterprise AI adoption. Bank of America analyst Koji Ikeda reiterated a Buy rating on the stock but notably cut his price target to $275 from $310, citing shifting growth expectations. The analyst also warned of increasing competition from hyperscalers and Databricks, while highlighting Snowflake's reliance on hyperscaler infrastructure as a potential long-term risk.
Analyst commentary pointing to neutral ratings on technology stocks, including Snowflake, may have contributed to the negative market sentiment during the trading day.
