Website Traffic Data Indicates Modest Growth
Investors can use TipRanks’ Website Traffic Tool to gain insights into a company’s upcoming earnings report. The tool offers information on how a company’s website domain performed over a specific time frame.
Though the analysts expect 26% year-over-year growth in Q2, SNOW’s website traffic trends suggest only a modest top-line growth in Q2. According to the tool, total estimated visits to snowflake.com grew by only 0.62% year-over-year and 2.41% sequentially. This could potentially be due to the increasing competitive environment in the cloud data analytics space.
