Q4 FY2026 Earnings Scorecard

With Q4 results confirmed and the stock up after-hours, here is how Snowflake graded across every key dimension.

Overall Grade: A- — A clean beat across revenue, EPS, RPO, and guidance, with accelerating AI monetization and expanding margins. The only deduction: the company remains in operating loss territory and cash declined year-over-year.

Category Grade Notes
Revenue Performance A $1.284B reported vs. $1.25B estimated, with product revenue up 30% YoY.
Earnings Beat/Miss A Non-GAAP EPS of $0.32 beat the $0.27 consensus.
Guidance Quality A- FY27 product revenue guided to $5.66B (+27% YoY) with a 12.5% operating margin target.
Margin Trends B+ Q4 operating margin reached 11%, showing clear operating leverage.
Cash Flow B Operating cash flow rose 35% YoY to $137.5M, though cash equivalents declined 7.65% YoY.
Management Confidence A- CEO Ramaswamy positioned Snowflake as “the cornerstone for customers’ data and AI strategies” with RPO up 42% YoY.

Analyst consensus sits at 84.3% buy ratings with a $266 price target, well above today’s close of $169.75.

After ending the day up 5%, the stock is up another 6% after-hours.

This is a clean acceleration print. Snowflake delivered 30% product revenue growth, 42% RPO growth, and strong FY27 guidance at 27% growth — exactly what a skeptical market needed to see.

Metric Actual Est. Beat/Miss
Revenue $1.284B $1.25B ✅ Beat
Product Revenue $1.227B ~$1.20B* ✅ Beat
Non-GAAP EPS $0.32 $0.27 ✅ Beat
RPO $9.77B (+42% Y/Y) ~$9.0B* ✅ Beat

This is what durable momentum looks like, growth holding at 30% while forward visibility strengthens.

Polymarket is pricing in a 93% probability that Snowflake beats the $0.27 non-GAAP EPS consensus estimate for today’s earnings release. That confidence has been building steadily, with the “Yes” contract gaining 6% over the past week and 4.5% in the last 24 hours.

The crowd is clearly leaning bullish on the beat itself. But history offers a cautionary note: last quarter, Snowflake beat the $0.31 estimate, yet the stock still fell 14.24% the following day. The prediction market for that post-earnings move resolved entirely to “Down.”

With SNOW already down 22.6% year-to-date, investors will be watching whether a beat this time translates to an actual rally, or whether the “sell the news” pattern repeats.
