On September 4, Snowflake declined 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $345.71/share with turnover of $617 million. The stock had surged over 20% following its Q2 FY2027 earnings beat but retreated sharply from an intraday high of $384.56 as multiple headwinds emerged.
While the earnings report was strong — revenue rose 35% year-over-year to $1.547 billion, beating estimates of $1.48 billion, and adjusted EPS of $0.62 far exceeded the $0.45 consensus — the pullback was fueled by several concerns. Notably, renowned investor Michael Burry publicly criticized Snowflake as being severely overvalued, with the stock's market cap exceeding $120 billion and year-to-date gains surpassing 62%. Additionally, CFO Brian Robins acknowledged that the AI-driven growth is coming at the cost of margins, as AI products carry lower profitability than the core platform. An insider sale by Executive VP of Product Management Christian Kleinerman, who sold 25,000 shares for approximately $8.68 million, further weighed on sentiment despite over a dozen Wall Street firms raising their price targets to a range of $384–$500.
