Over the past decade, local computer storage has become a relic, joining the likes of the floppy disk and CD-ROM. Today, Big Data is big business, and the companies that provide cloud storage solutions are on the forefront of an explosive industry. Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW) is the quintessential example.

Despite having to face cloud-based data warehousing competitors such as Google BigQuery, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), or Redshift, a business division of Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), the company is well-positioned to take advantage of the $602.31 billion industry’s projected growth. According to Grand View Research, the global cloud computing market size is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.2% between 2024 and 2030, with the U.S. cloud computing market forecast to grow at a slightly lower — but still considerable — CAGR of 20.3% over the same time frame.

In addition to its data management services, Snowflake provides clients with customized infrastructure solutions, a pay-as-you-go pricing model, scalability, low to no latency as well as analytics capabilities. In doing so, the Bozeman, Mont.-based company has amassed a $41.34 billion market cap. However, its stock has struggled since 2021 when it hit its all-time high of $392.15 per share, falling nearly 69% since. But with an industry ripe for expansion, 24/7 Wall Street has performed analysis that suggest there is considerable upside potential for the tech company. Here is where prospective investors and current shareholders might expect the stock to be over the course of the next five years.

Key Points in This Article:

Snowflake’s Recent Stock Performance

Shares of SNOW could be considered undervalued given the combination of its recent stock performance, its significantly growing revenue figures and the overall industry’s projected CAGR through 2030. Snowflake’s stock surged after its IPO on Sept. 15, 2020. However, as previously mentioned, it has struggled since hitting its all-time high in November 2021.

Despite that roughly 69% drop, the stock has performed better than usual in the last two quarters of 2024. Despite a negative price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -69.51, its total assets of $8.22 billion already outweighs its total liabilities of $3.03 billion while its free cash flow has grown from -$199.41 million in 2020 to $784.29 million in 2024, good for a jaw-dropping 493.31% increase.

Collaboration With NVIDIA: Snowflake recently announced a partnership with NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA).  Snowflake has implemented NVIDIA’s AI Enterprise software, which will allow it to help customers build customized AI data applications.

2. A Loyal Customer Base: According to Yahoo! Finance, Snowflake is delivering solid growth while experiencing exceptional customer loyalty evidenced by revenue retention of 127%. Those customers run the games from mega-cap companies like Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and small-cap companies like Petco Health and Wellness Company Inc.

3. An Industry Primed for Growth: As previously discussed, the CAGR for the U.S. cloud computing market, which stood at $602.31 in 2023, is 20.3%. Grand View Research cites the rise of hybrid and milt-cloud solutions in driving the industry, as well as increased cloud adoption among both private and public (government) enterprises, both in the developed and developing world.

How Snowflake’s Next Five Years Could Play Out

At the end of its FY 2025, we forecast Snowflake’s stock to be trading for $120.00, or -2.56% lower than its current share price. However, we also expect the company’s recent shift to positive earnings to continue to build momentum, beginning with a 60-cent EPS in 2025 growing to an EPS of $6.28 by 2030. That investor return will largely be propelled by the continued and healthy growth of Snowflake’s revenue, which is projected to increase from $3.529 billion in 2025 to nearly triple that figure by 2030 with $10.461 billion. That revenue growth will be good for an increase of 196.43% from 2025 to 2030.
