Intrawest Resorts

Snowflake's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.44% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.84 million shares sold short, which is 3.34% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.39 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Snowflake Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752091261_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Snowflake has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Snowflake's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Snowflake's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.57%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Snowflake?

Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), an AI data cloud company, is experiencing significant upward momentum, with its stock trading near its 52-week high of $226.60 and well above its 50-day moving average of $197.41. 
This surge is fueled by a combination of strong financial performance, strategic product innovations, and aggressive inorganic growth strategies, including key partnerships and acquisitions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Momentum And Financial Highlights</h2>
Snowflake&#8217;s stock has performed well year-to-date, rising 45%, and gaining 48% in the last three months, significantly outperforming the NYSE Composite Index&#8217;s gains of 8% and 12% over the same periods.

This trajectory is supported by the company&#8217;s recent financial disclosures. On May 21, Snowflake reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45553121/snowflake-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-ai-data-cloud-company-sees-25-growth-ahead-shares-climb">first-quarter revenue</a> of $1.04 billion, marking a 26% year-over-year increase and exceeding analyst estimates of $1.01 billion. 
Snowflake earns most of its revenue through a consumption-based model, charging customers based on the compute and storage resources they use on its platform. The company also generates revenue from professional services, including consulting and training.
Its product revenue, primarily generated through a consumption-based model that charges customers based on their usage of compute and storage resources, also grew by 26% year-over-year, reaching $996.8 million. 
Looking ahead, Snowflake has provided an optimistic outlook, projecting second-quarter product revenue between $1.035 billion and $1.04 billion, representing a 25% year-over-year growth. The company anticipates full-year product revenue to reach $4.33 billion, also indicating a 25% year-over-year increase.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Growth And AI Focus</h2>
The company&#8217;s strategic focus on product innovation and expansion has been a critical factor in its recent success. On February 27, Snowflake announced an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43999325/snowflake-doubles-down-on-ai-expands-openai-partnership-microsoft-365-teams-to-have-new-cortex-agents">expanded partnership</a> with Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) , integrating Cortex Agents directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams. 
This collaboration leverages OpenAI&#8217;s models within Cortex, enabling AI agents to process both structured and unstructured data, which significantly enhances user access and productivity. 
CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy has emphasized Snowflake&#8217;s AI-centric vision, noting that Cortex also supports models from prominent AI companies such as Anthropic, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and DeepSeek, thereby solidifying Snowflake&#8217;s position as a central hub for enterprise AI solutions. 
In another strategic move on June 18, Intapp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTA#NASDAQ">INTA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45997907/snowflake-teams-up-with-intapp-to-bring-smarter-deal-insights-to-wall-street-and-legal-firms">announced a partnership</a> with Snowflake to enhance deal insights through AI-powered analytics specifically for the capital markets and legal sectors. 
Furthermore, on June 3, Snowflake <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45739846/snowflake-sets-sights-on-350-billion-database-market-with-crunchy-data-acquisition">revealed its plans</a> to acquire Crunchy Data, a move aimed at integrating advanced PostgreSQL support into its AI Data Cloud. 
This acquisition is designed to meet the increasing demand for secure and reliable AI databases, allowing Snowflake to tap into the $350 billion global database market.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Confidence And Competitive Edge</h2>
Despite operating in a highly competitive landscape against formidable players like Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Redshift, Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (GOOG) Google BigQuery, Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, and Databricks in the cloud data warehousing and data lakehouse market, Snowflake continues to demonstrate a strong competitive edge.
Analyst sentiment largely remains bullish on Snowflake&#8217;s future. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SNOW/analyst-ratings">consensus price forecast</a> from 37 analysts projects the stock to reach $227.56. While UBS issued the highest forecast at $265 on June 4, 2025, Morgan Stanley set the lowest at $185 on April 16, 2025. More recent ratings from Morgan Stanley, CICC, and Wells Fargo average $245.67, suggesting a potential upside of 9.6% for the stock. 
Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin, on May 22, raised Snowflake&#8217;s price forecast from $175 to $215, calling it a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45559147/snowflake-jumps-8-pre-market-after-piper-sander-hikes-price-target-to-215-calls-it-high-conviction-growth-play">top growth pick</a> for 2025. Bracelin&#8217;s bullish view hinges on Snowflake hitting the &#8220;Rule of 50&#8221;: 25% product revenue growth and 25% free cash flow margins at $4 billion Annual Recurring Revenue. 
Bank of America&#8217;s Brad Sills, on June 3, identified Snowflake as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45755544/rising-ai-analytics-budgets-could-lift-microsoft-snowflake-datadog">key beneficiary of AI and cloud trends</a>, noting that data analytics continues to be a top spending priority according to his survey. 
CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer, on June 4, praised CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45767953/jim-cramer-arrowhead-pharmaceuticals-doesnt-have-the-horses">describing him as thoughtful</a>, sharp at closing deals, and full of momentum.
Adding to the positive outlook, JP Morgan analyst Mark Murphy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45975700/snowflake-ai-push-gains-traction-jpmorgan-analyst-sees-potential">highlighted system integrators</a>, noting that Snowflake produces results for its customers as the company expands its AI and data platform strategy. They said, &#8220;Once Snowflake starts to really get used…it grows like wildfire.&#8221;

Snowflake shares are trading higher after Morgan Stanley assumed coverage with an Overweight rating and announced a price target of $262

Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) stock is trading higher Tuesday. The movement appears to be driven by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">positive analyst coverage</a>.
What Happened: Morgan Stanley analyst Sanjit Singh assumed Snowflake with an Overweight rating on Tuesday and set a price target of $262, citing improvement in secular growth trends.
The analyst sees 20% upside from current levels. Snowflake shares are already up about 45% year-to-date.
Here&#8217;s a look at other analyst changes in recent weeks:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>CICC initiated coverage on Snowflake with an Outperform rating and announced a price target of $225.</li>
<li>Wells Fargo analyst Michael Turrin maintained an Overweight rating on Snowflake and raised the price target from $225 to $250.</li>
<li>Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron maintained an Outperform rating on Snowflake and raised the price target from $225 to $250.</li>
<li>Needham analyst Mike Cikos reiterated a Buy rating on Snowflake and maintained a price target of $230.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SNOW Stock</h3>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Snowflake &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

Snowflake Stock Is Rising Tuesday: What's Going On?

Records from June 23, 2025 indicate that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia made a purchase of Snowflake (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), valued between $2,002 and $30,000, with the transaction dated June 17, 2025 and filed in June.
As of now, Snowflake shares are trading up 3.08% at $220.3.
To keep an eye on Marjorie Taylor Greene's trades and other government stock activity, check out our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene">real-time tracking tool</a>!
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Desh, a former U.S. diplomat and attorney, <a href="https://www.electdesh.com/">says</a> she believes that the public sector can benefit from the iterative, builder-style approach that drives startups forward.
According to <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/if-somethings-broken-you-solve-it-why-this-startup-founder-is-running-for-bellevue-city-council/">GeekWire</a>, her platform focuses on improving housing, transportation, social equity, and public safety, with a heavy emphasis on building Bellevue into a leading hub for startups and innovation.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bellevue's Startup Ecosystem Gets A Tech Insider Candidate</h2>
Desh launched Advocat to provide AI-powered legal tools to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44868492/art-of-the-steal-ross-gerber-says-small-businesses-get-to-go-bankrupt-while-trump-makes-exceptions-for-mag-7-chinese-imports">small businesses</a> priced out of traditional services. Now she's applying the same logic to civic challenges, advocating for smarter processes and more efficient systems, GeekWire reports.
"I want to bring a founder's mindset to government, the kind of thinking that we've used to solve problems," Desh told GeekWire. "Because in tech, if something's broken you don't just wait, you have to solve it. We study a problem, we build, we talk to users, we iterate, and we constantly make it better. And that is missing from government."
She is running against incumbent Councilmember Jared Nieuwenhuis for one of five open seats on the seven-member council, GeekWire says. According to her website, Desh has already secured endorsements from the King County Democrats, 41st Democrats, and several other local leaders.

As a trustee of Bellevue College and a mother of three, Desh told GeekWire that her commitment to the region is both professional and personal. &#8220;I want to see what I can do to help Bellevue now,&#8221; she said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Tech Has Moved In But Infrastructure Still Trails Behind</h2>
Bellevue has become a magnet for major tech companies including Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Zoom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZM#NASDAQ">ZM</a>), Shopify (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>), Shein, TikTok parent ByteDance, and Snowflake (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), all of which have opened offices in the city. Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) also had a significant presence in the area in previous years, GeekWire reports.
Desh believes the city needs to act faster to keep up with the pace of innovation. "We have a lot of the dots, but they're not all connected," she told GeekWire, referring to the region's fragmented approach to infrastructure and economic development.
Desh envisions a more coordinated tech ecosystem that includes better transportation, more affordable housing, and deeper partnerships between local government, founders, and investors, according to her website.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desh Wants To Help Washington Rival The Bay Area For Startups</h2>
One of Desh's concerns is the recent push for new business taxes in Washington state, which she told GeekWire could drive innovation elsewhere. "We need to solve it in a different way," Desh said, expressing her frustration with policies that she believes contradict efforts to make Washington more attractive to startups.
She told GeekWire she sees her City Council campaign as a launchpad for broader impact, potentially leading to future roles at higher levels of government. For now, she's focused on Bellevue, a city she believes is uniquely positioned to set the tone for tech-centered growth across the Pacific Northwest.

The company recently reported that it has 10.00 million shares sold short, which is 3.08% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.17 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Snowflake has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Snowflake's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Snowflake's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.26%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Snowflake stock surged over 64% in the last 12 months.
J.P. Morgan analyst Mark R. Murphy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45776141/snowflake-just-hired-500-sellers-is-this-the-start-of-a-full-scale-ai-land-grab">came away optimistic</a> after attending Snowflake&#8217;s Investor Day presentation in San Francisco, citing a strong AI product roadmap and growing market momentum. 
Snowflake hired over 500 sales and marketing personnel in the first quarter. This aggressive hiring contrasted with the more muted activity at many other software companies, and Murphy noted it likely reflects the significant opportunity Snowflake is currently seizing in the market. 
He added that, for Snowflake, Iceberg is experiencing a dynamic where its tailwinds and opportunities &#8220;far exceed and outpace the potential headwinds.&#8221; Murphy expressed encouragement regarding Snowflake&#8217;s slate of new products and the recent acceleration in innovation.
Recently, CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45767953/jim-cramer-arrowhead-pharmaceuticals-doesnt-have-the-horses">high praise for Snowflake</a> CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy, describing him as &#8220;cerebral&#8221; and possessing &#8220;a real good closing sense.&#8221; Cramer enthusiastically added, &#8220;man, does he ever have momentum.&#8221;
