Snowflake [SNOW]

Snowflake [SNOW] — Catalyst Calendar

As of 2026-07-29. Framework v1.5.1. Tier-2 memo, cluster member (data & dev infrastructure). Cluster analysis: reports/clusters/Data_Dev_Infrastructure_Cluster_2026-07-29.md

This memo issues no position verdict. The book decides.

Never fabricate a date. Every entry below is either (a) an exact date stated in a filing, or (b) an expected window inferred from the company's own filing history, with that history shown so the inference can be checked. Nothing here is invented, and where only a window is available it is labelled a window.

1. Dated events — exact, from filings

Date Event Source Why it matters
2026-02-02 Observe, Inc. acquisition completed — $595.8m preliminary consideration ($252.5m cash + 1,496k shares at $285.3m) 10-Q, Business Combinations note Closed on day one of the reported quarter. Contribution to the +33.5% is not disclosed. Also puts Snowflake into Datadog's market.
2026-05-24 Definitive agreement to acquire Natoma Labs, Inc. — ~$110.0m, an enterprise Model Context Protocol platform for AI agents 10-Q, Subsequent Events note Completion will appear in the Q2 FY27 filing. A second AI-adjacent tuck-in inside four months.
2025-07-03 Share class renamed to a single "common stock" 10-Q Removes the dual-class tagging problem that broke Datadog's screen record.

2. Expected windows — inferred from filing history, labelled as inference

Q2 FY2027 (quarter ending 2026-07-31) — expected late August 2026.

Basis for the inference: this company's own earnings-release 8-K filing dates (item 2.02) in prior years were 2025-08-27, 2024-08-21, 2023-08-23. This is a pattern-based window, not a company-confirmed date. No date has been fabricated; if a confirmed date is required before acting, it must be taken from the company's investor-relations announcement.

Why this print is the one that matters for this name:

Three lines, in order:

  1. Net revenue retention. The series reads 124 / 125 / 125 / 125 / 126. It is disclosed to the percentage point and has held flat for three quarters, so the disclosure demonstrably has the resolution to show a decline. Any step down is a real signal.
  2. RPO. $9,205.2m, +37.7% YoY, and note the seasonality — Snowflake states RPO growth is "historically the highest in the fourth fiscal quarter", so the July quarter is a weak seasonal comparison by construction.
  3. Observe's contribution. Snowflake has not quantified it. A second quarter of consolidated Observe revenue with still no disclosure makes the organic growth rate progressively harder to verify.

3. Catalyst Criteria — the score

Type: MEASURED. Time works for a long, so a dated event is not required to own this name — unlike a short.
Dated events that would confirm or refute the implied path yes — see §1 and §2
Nearest catalyst late August 2026
Result scored

What the calendar deliberately does not contain: no product-launch dates, no conference dates, and no analyst-day dates have been included, because none was found stated in a filing. A fabricated catalyst date is worse than an absent calendar, and the absence is recorded rather than filled.

4. Downside Criteria — logged for the ledger

Type: MEASURED. Logged and scored on every name; it does not reject the name.

Named cause: renewal-cycle capacity right-sizing on a rollover-eligible RPO base.

Scenario Implied price vs spot Probability
Growth to 12%, multiple to post-2024 p25 of 14.2x $231.00 -18% 25%
Growth to 5%, multiple to post-2024 min of 9.9x $151.00 -47% 12%

Going-concern: not argued. See §9 of the research document for the balance-sheet basis.
