Snowflake posted 125% net revenue retention and expects 27% product revenue growth in Q1 FY2027.
SNOW faces rising competition as Alphabet and Amazon expand AI-driven cloud offerings.
Snowflake (SNOW - Free Report) is benefiting from a rapidly expanding customer base, which is fueling both its top-line growth and strong momentum in the enterprise AI and data cloud markets. In the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026, the company highlighted that Snowflake now serves more than 13,300 customers, having added 2,332 net new customers in the past year alone.
SNOW is benefiting from strong adoption and increasing platform usage, as reflected by a net revenue retention rate of 125% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. In the same quarter, Snowflake added 740 net new customers, up 40% year over year. The company now has 733 customers spending more than $1 million annually, up 27% year over year, and 56 customers spending more than $10 million annually, up 56% year over year.
Snowflake’s product innovation is a key driver behind this customer momentum. The launch of Snowflake Intelligence and Cortex Code has significantly expanded the platform’s capabilities, making it easier for both business users and developers to build and deploy AI-native applications. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the company highlighted that more than 4,400 customers are already using Cortex Code, and Snowflake Intelligence has become essential for more than 2,500 accounts just weeks after launch.
The company’s strategic partnerships with leading AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic and Google Cloud, further enhance its value proposition by offering customers access to the latest AI models natively within the Snowflake platform.
Snowflake’s growing customer base, combined with its rapid product innovation and strong go-to-market execution, positions the company for continued upside. For the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Snowflake expects product revenues in the range of $1.262-$1.267 billion. The projection range indicates year-over-year growth of 27%.
SNOW Suffers From Stiff Competition
Snowflake is facing stiff competition from major players such as Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) . Both Alphabet and Amazon are expanding their footprints in the cloud analytics space.
Alphabet has been growing rapidly in the booming cloud-computing market. In the first quarter of 2026, Alphabet's cloud revenues surged 63% year over year to roughly $20 billion. This acceleration is largely fueled by enterprise adoption of generative AI offerings such as Gemini, with revenue from AI-based cloud products growing nearly 800% year over year.
Amazon continues to see strong demand for its cloud services. In the first quarter of 2026, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced new agreements with major enterprises, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta Platforms, NVIDIA, Uber, U.S. Bank, Fox Corporation, Southwest Airlines, U.S. Army, Bloomberg, Cerebras, AT&T, DTCC, Nokia, The National Geographic Society, NEURA Robotics, DXC, PGA TOUR, O2 Telefónica, NTT DOCOMO, and many more.
