Cantor Fitzgerald: Snowflake reported strong fiscal third-quarter results, with RPO (remaining performance obligations) coming in at $7.9 billion. Customers continue expanding their usage on the company's platform, Blakey said. RPO growth accelerated to 37.5%, from 32.5% in the prior quarter.

Bookings snowballed. Snowflake booking nearly $1 billion in net new RPO in the quarter, 89% higher than in the year-ago quarter, the analyst stated. The company announced $100 million in AI ARR (annual recurrent revenue) one quarter earlier than expected, "driven by Cortex and Snowflake Intelligence, which is its fastest ramping new product in Snowflake history," he further wrote.

Scotiabank: Snowflake's year-on-year product revenue growth decelerated sequentially by around 3 percentage points and "the magnitude of the beat wasn't as strong as last quarter," Colville said.
