Here is how Amazon (AMZN) and Tapestry (TPR) have performed compared to their sector so far this year. Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock's price, do they really matter? Semiconductor designer Nvidia (NVDA 0.39%) is enjoying a golden age right now. The company has cornered the market for high-end accelerator chips used in training and running modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Amazon's dual dominance in e-commerce and cloud infrastructure, coupled with a strong focus on profitability, maintains a 'Strong Buy' recommendation. Significant progress in profitability and strategic dominance in cloud infrastructure, with a 31% market share, highlight Amazon's robust financial health and competitive edge. Valuation analysis shows an attractive forward P/E ratio and a fair share price target of $271, indicating substantial undervaluation. Over the past decade, local computer storage has become a relic, joining the likes of the floppy disk and CD-ROM. Today, Big Data is big business, and the companies that provide cloud storage solutions are at the forefront of an explosive industry. Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW) is the quintessential example. Despite having to face cloud-based data warehousing competitors such as Google BigQuery, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), or Redshift, a business division of Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), the company is well-positioned to take advantage of the $602.31 billion industry’s projected growth. According to Grand View Research, the global cloud computing market size is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2% between 2024 and 2030, with the U.S. cloud computing market forecast to grow at a slightly lower — but still considerable — CAGR of 20.3% over the same time frame. In addition to its data management services, Snowflake provides clients with customized infrastructure solutions, a pay-as-you-go pricing model, scalability, low to no latency as well as analytics capabilities. In doing so, the Bozeman, Mont.-based company has amassed a $54.89 billion market cap. However, its stock has struggled since 2021 when it hit its all-time high of $392.15 per share, falling nearly 57% since. But with an industry ripe for expansion, 24/7 Wall Street has performed an analysis that suggests there is considerable upside potential for the tech company. Here is where prospective investors and current shareholders might expect the stock to be over the course of the next five years. Key Points in This Article: Snowflake’s strong earnings record suggests the ability to continue to produce positive earnings while growing alongside the cloud data storage industry. Since the first quarter of 2021, the company has beat on earnings per share (EPS) in 14 out of 15 quarters. Snowflake has been experiencing explosive revenue growth that reflects the industry in which it operates. After posting total revenue of $264.75 million in 2020, the company saw revenue grow to $592.05 million in 2021, $1.22 billion in 2022, $2.07 billion in 2023, $2.81 billion in fiscal year 2024 — good for an enormous 961.38% increase between 2020 and 2024.

This report breaks down AI stocks with 10x potential and will give you a huge leg up on profiting from this massive sea change Snowflake News and Updates 12/16/2024 Jeffries Financial Gropu has expressed increased optimism about Snowflake, raising its price target from $180 to $200. The brokerage firm maintains a “buy” rating on the stock, suggesting a potential 17.25% upside from its current price. 12/9/2024 Snowflake insiders have purchased more shares than they’ve sold over the past year, indicating a bullish sentiment toward the stock. Insider purchases totaled $15 million, while the sales amounted to $4.3 million, resulting in a net insider buying activity of $10.7 million. 12/3/2024 Snowflake has secured a new office space deal and has agreed to sublease around 773,000 square feet at the newly built Menlo Gateway in Menlo Park. This move, coupled with other recent leases in the Bay Area and Washington State, solidifies Snowflake’s position as one of the largest and most active office tenants in the region. Snowflake’s Recent Stock Performance Shares of SNOW could be considered undervalued given the combination of its recent stock performance, its significantly growing revenue figures, and the overall industry’s projected CAGR through 2030. Snowflake’s stock surged after its IPO on Sept. 15, 2020. However, as previously mentioned, it has struggled since hitting its all-time high in November 2021. Year Share Price Revenue* Net Income* 2020 $281.40 $0.264 -$0.348 2021 $338.75 $0.592 -$0.539 2022 $143.54 $1.22 -$0.679 2023 $199.00 $2.07 -$0.796 2024 $195.64 $2.81 -$0.836 *Revenue and net income in $billions Despite that roughly 69% drop, the stock has performed better than usual in the last two quarters of 2024. Despite a negative price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -69.51, its total assets of $8.22 billion already outweigh its total liabilities of $3.03 billion while its free cash flow has grown from -$199.41 million in 2020 to $784.29 million in 2024, good for a jaw-dropping 493.31% increase. These metrics suggest that the company’s underlying fundamentals are strong and could set the table for a turnaround in share performance in the near future. Key Drivers of Snowflake’s Stock Performance 1. Collaboration With NVIDIA: Snowflake recently announced a partnership with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA). Snowflake has implemented NVIDIA’s AI Enterprise software, which will allow it to help customers build customized AI data applications. This will allow the company to enjoy a twofold growing industry demand between its existing offerings for cloud-based data storage as well as a vast array of AI applications meeting the needs of its tech clientele. 2. A Loyal Customer Base: According to Yahoo! Finance, Snowflake is delivering solid growth while experiencing exceptional customer loyalty evidenced by revenue retention of 127%. Those customers run the games from mega-cap companies like Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and small-cap companies like Petco Health and Wellness Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WOOF) to privately held yet popular enterprises such as Orangetheory Fitness and public entities such as the City of San Francisco and the Florida State University. 3. An Industry Primed for Growth: As previously discussed, the CAGR for the U.S. cloud computing market, which stood at $602.31 in 2023, is 20.3%. Grand View Research cites the rise of hybrid and milt-cloud solutions in driving the industry, as well as increased cloud adoption among both private and public (government) enterprises, both in the developed and developing world. Coupled with the rise of AI and machine learning, companies like Snowflake are uniquely positioned to serve as so-called hyper-scalers allowing them to use their flexibility to diversify service offerings that cater to the specific needs of a growing clientele that spans a broad range of industries and sectors. Snowflake (SNOW) Price Prediction in 2025 Snowflake’s fiscal year 2024 ended on Jan. 31, 2024, so the company is well into fiscal year 2025. By the end of its FY 2025, 24/7 Wall Street‘s median year-end price target for shares of SNOW is $185.00, or 10.78% above its current share price of $167.00. Of all the analysts covering Snowflake, the stock has a consensus 1.96 ‘Outperform’ rating on a scale from 1 (‘Strong Buy’) to 5 (‘Strong Sell’) based on an annualized EPS of 60 cents and a projected net income of $214.40 million. Snowflake (SNOW) Stock Forecast Through 2030 Year Revenue* EPS 2025 $3.584 $0.70 2026 $4.424 $0.99 2027 $5.409 $1.44 2028 $6.944 $2.71 2029 $8.338 $3.83 2030 $10.512 $4.12 *Revenue in $billions How Snowflake’s Next Five Years Could Play Out At the end of its FY 2025, we forecast Snowflake’s stock to be trading for $120.00, or -28.14% lower than its current share price of $167.00. However, we also expect the company’s recent shift to positive earnings to continue to build momentum, beginning with a $0.70 EPS in 2025 growing to an EPS of $4.12 by 2030. That investor return will largely be propelled by the continued and healthy growth of Snowflake’s revenue, which is projected to increase from $3,584.27 million in 2025 to nearly triple that figure by 2030 with $10,512.50 million. That revenue growth will be good for an increase of 193.30% from 2025 to 2030. Snowflake’s Price Target for 2030 By the conclusion of 2030, 24/7 Wall Street estimates that Snowflake’s stock will be trading for $251.20, or a robust 36.89% higher than its current share price of $183.50, based on the aforementioned $10.461 billion in revenue and an annualized EPS of $6.28. Year Price Target % Change From Current Price 2025 $120.00 -28.14% 2026 $135.00 -19.16% 2027 $150.00 -10.18% 2028 $178.50 6.89% 2029 $242.40 45.15% 2030 $251.20 50.42% Get Ready To Retire (Sponsored) Start by taking a quick retirement quiz from SmartAsset that will match you with up to 3 financial advisors that serve your area and beyond in 5 minutes, or less.

As traditional sectors experienced lagging recovery after the great financial crisis of 2008, investors increasingly turned to big tech — an industry that had matured and expanded significantly after the dot com crash at the turn of the millennium. Since Warren Buffett became the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A 0.80%) (BRK.B 0.95%) in 1965, its stock has delivered a compound annual return of 19.8%. That would have been enough to turn a $1,000 investment into $42.5 million, whereas the same investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to just $325,053 over the same period. This chart features all eight American technology stocks with valuations of $1 trillion or more, and their respective returns in 2024 so far. Their average return for the year works out to around 67%.
