Snowflake’s Strong Results Drive AI Data Cloud Optimism
Snowflake on Wednesday reported a double beat for the second quarter, reporting revenue of $1.55 billion versus estimates of $1.48 billion and adjusted earnings per share of 62 cents versus estimates of 45 cents.
The company is benefiting from the enterprise AI revolution with product revenue up 37% year-over-year and remaining performance obligations of $9 billion, up 30% year-over-year.
“AI continues to compound our advantages, creating a flywheel effect across the business,” CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy said.
Snowflake stock soared more than 22% following the report, pulling Datadog up with it. Datadog offers an AI-powered observability and security platform, and often moves in sympathy with Snowflake.
Datadog reported its own second-quarter results last month, beating estimates on the top and bottom lines as AI drove strong demand. The company also raised its full-year guidance on the back of continued AI momentum.
