Wall Street sees only modest upside in Nvidia, but analysts are projecting significant gains for Snowflake shareholders.The S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.11%) has advanced 11% year to date, and Nvidia (NVDA 4.89%) alone is responsible for one-third of those gains. The chipmaker has seen its share price surge 121% since January due to strong demand for data-center compute and networking products, especially those related to artificial intelligence.However, Wall Street expects Nvidia to lose momentum over the next year.

Sundry Photography Since I last wrote about the data platform Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) with a buy recommendation on March 4, 2024, it has been a downhill ride. The stock is down 23.46% compared to the S&P 500 Index (SPX), down 2.86% over the same period. When the company released its first quarter fiscal year ("FY") 2025 earnings report on May 22, 2024, it mostly added to the sour investor sentiment surrounding the company. The market was disappointed that the company missed analysts' non-GAAP (Generally ...

It's not enough just to spot the big trends because those trends won't benefit all businesses equally.Imagine a glob of wet cement and a stick of butter sitting side by side in the middle of the street on a hot summer day in Florida.

The company's big bet on AI is risky.Last year, one of the biggest concerns Snowflake (SNOW -4.89%) investors had was how quickly its revenue growth rate was decelerating. But to the data cloud specialist's credit, the company seemed to get this problem under control in late fiscal 2024. Indeed, Snowflake's top-line growth rate actually accelerated in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.But this still misses the full picture. The revenue growth rate Snowflake has s ...

Here's one of the big bright spots from recent financial results.Whenever I write about cloud-based data company Snowflake (SNOW -1.69%), I try to do so with plenty of nuance. It's a complex business with a lot to consider. I don't want to downplay the good but I don't want to overlook the bad either -- both sides must be considered to make a confident investment decision.On May 22, Snowflake reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter of 2025. The report contained some bullish news that some mi ...

Which of these high-growth tech stocks is the better buy right now?Nvidia (NVDA 0.81%) and Snowflake (SNOW -1.69%) represent two different ways to invest in the growing artificial intelligence (AI) market.

Snowflake's cloud-based data warehouses store and clean up large amounts of data so it can be easily accessed by third-party applications. That process makes it easier for AI applicati ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is creating substantial value for investors, but not every AI stock is worth buying right now.Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors of all time.
