About Snowflake Inc.
About Snowflake Inc.
Snowflake's AI Data Cloud served 13,328 customers at January 31, 2026 — up from 10,996 a year earlier — generating $4.7 billion in revenue for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, a 29% year-over-year increase. Among those customers, 790 were Forbes Global 2000 companies contributing approximately 43% of revenue. The platform runs across three major public clouds in 53 regional deployments worldwide, and 733 customers contributed more than $1 million in trailing 12-month product revenue.
Snowflake earns revenue on a consumption basis rather than through fixed subscription fees, recognizing income as customers use compute, storage, and data transfer resources. This model exposes the company to fluctuation when customers optimize workloads, shorten data-retention policies, or manage cash flow — patterns the company notes have pressured growth rates in recent periods. The platform runs on infrastructure provided by Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, each of which also competes directly with Snowflake in cloud data services; pricing negotiations with those three providers significantly influence gross margins. Key product categories span analytics, data engineering, AI (via Cortex Agents and Snowflake Intelligence), transactions (Snowflake Postgres), and collaboration via the Snowflake Marketplace. Industries targeted include financial services, healthcare, retail, and the public sector.

Snowflake's most distinctive structural exposure is its dependence on infrastructure provided by its primary competitors. The 10-K states that AWS, Azure, and GCP could use control of their clouds to embed competing capabilities, bundle rival products, or provide unfavorable pricing — a risk that is structural given that a substantial majority of Snowflake's business runs on AWS. At the same time, the company's adoption of open data formats like Apache Iceberg reduces switching costs relative to its own platform, broadening addressable use cases while intensifying competition across more product categories. Frontier AI model providers seeking to vertically integrate into data storage and management layers could further challenge this position.
