Q2 FY2027 reported results

What to watch

  1. Product revenue against the $1,415–1,420 million guide, and against the ~$1,424 million the consensus implies. A beat in the historical 2.4–5.5% band is roughly $1,451–1,496 million; anything inside the guided range would be the first in the tracked window.
  2. The full-year product revenue guide, currently $5,840 million. Raised again, the implied 29.5% second-half deceleration was conservatism. Left alone after a beat, it becomes a forecast — and it is the anchor of the bear case in our model.
  3. Free cash flow against $58.2 million and a 5.1% margin in the July quarter a year ago, and the full-year adjusted margin against the guided 23.0%. The quarterly figure will look bad; the annual guide is the one that carries information.
  4. Remaining performance obligations against $9.21 billion. They fell $560 million sequentially in April while still growing 38% year over year, and they are the only forward volume disclosure Snowflake publishes.
  5. Net revenue retention against 126%, and the count of customers above $1 million against 779. Retention rose for the first time in four quarters in April; whether that was the AI attach or one large renewal is not something the release will separate.
