Should You Buy Snowflake Stock Before the Huge Investor Update? | SNOW Stock Analysis

Parkev Tatevosian, CFAAug 23, 2026

Summary

Parkev argues that Snowflake is no longer a buy due to its current valuation reaching excessive levels. Parkev notes that the forward price-to-earnings ratio has surged from 60 to over 123, making the stock less attractive than when Parkev initially upgraded it earlier in the year. Parkev highlights that although the company has a strong customer value proposition and a clear path to achieving bottom-line profitability by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2028, the market price has significantly surpassed Parkev's calculated intrinsic value. Parkev emphasizes that the business trajectory remains excellent, moving from $200 million in revenue in 2019 to over $5 billion recently, but warns that the stock price has moved too much too soon.

Snowflake (SNOW): Parkev states that the business is performing well with revenue growing by nearly 30% and an industry-leading revenue retention ratio of over 120%. Parkev points out that the stock currently trades at approximately $333, while Parkev's discounted cash flow analysis suggests an intrinsic value of only $199 per share. Parkev recommends holding the stock rather than buying more at these levels, suggesting that investors could even consider trimming positions or selling covered calls at the $350 or $375 price points to capitalize on the rich valuation.

Reasoning: Parkev notes that the stock price has more than doubled recently, pushing the forward P/E ratio from 60 to over 123. Parkev calculates an intrinsic value of $199 per share, which is significantly lower than the current market price of $333. Parkev suggests that the valuation is now too rich, leading to a downgrade from buy to hold, and mentions $350 or $375 as potential price points for selling covered calls.
