Did SNOW Beat Earnings? Q4 2026 Results
Snowflake closed fiscal 2026 on a decisive high note, posting Q4 earnings per share of $0.32 against a consensus estimate of $0.27 — an 18.52% beat — while revenue of $1.28 billion edged past the $1.26 billion expectation by 2.31% and climbed 30.1% year over year. The standout driver was an acceleration in AI adoption and customer expansion: the company added a record 740 net new customers in the quarter, a 40% year-over-year jump, as demand for its Snowflake Intelligence and Cortex AI capabilities pulled more enterprise workloads onto the platform. Remaining performance obligations reached $9.77 billion, up 42% year over year, a figure that underscores <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/02/26/snowflakes-7-88-billion-revenue-backlog-is-impressive-the-april-27-lawsuit-deadline-is-not/">robust future demand commitments</a> even as multiple securities class action lawsuits tied to a 2024 disclosure controversy continue to shadow the company. Free cash flow surged to $765.09 million at a 60% margin, a dramatic improvement from 42% a year prior. Looking ahead, Snowflake guided FY2027 product revenue to $5.66 billion, implying 27% growth, with non-GAAP operating margin expanding to 12.5%.
