Sentiment · FY2027 Q1
Reporting soon: earnings call Wednesday, Sep 2
A pre-earnings brief is ready for SNOW: the setup, what peers and partners said this season, and which analysts to watch. Reading it is a Tellvest Pro feature.
Snowflake capped fiscal 2026 with Q4 product revenue of $1.23 billion, up 30% year-over-year, and remaining performance obligations accelerating to $9.77 billion, up 42%. Bookings were a standout: the company signed the largest deal in its history at more than $400 million total contract value and seven nine-figure contracts, versus two a year earlier, while adding 740 net new customers and growing $10 million-plus customers 56% to 56 accounts. Profitability improved alongside growth, with FY26 non-GAAP operating margin reaching 10.5% (up more than 400 basis points) and SBC guided down toward 27% of revenue in FY27. Management introduced FY27 product revenue guidance of approximately $5.66 billion (27% growth), and framed Cortex Code and Snowflake Intelligence, now spanning over 9,100 AI accounts, as positioning Snowflake as the control plane for the agentic era.
