How Snowflake Inc. Common Stock scores

The Quality Score for SNOW stands at 5.8 out of 10 as of October 16, 2026, which puts Snowflake Inc. Common Stock in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Snowflake Inc. Common Stock’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.

Set against 260 Technology companies, Snowflake Inc. Common Stock lands at the 47th percentile, in the lower half of the group, above the bottom quarter. The median across the group is 5.9, and the top quarter begins at 6.7, so Snowflake Inc. Common Stock is in line with the typical company here.

Pillar by pillar

Profitability

Snowflake Inc. Common Stock’s profitability score is 2.9 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 4.6 among 252 Technology companies, that is well below the group and the 30th percentile. A low reading here is the first thing to explain: it is the pillar most closely tied to whether the business creates value at all.

Solvency

On solvency, Snowflake Inc. Common Stock scores 5.4, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 8.0 across 194 Technology companies, which places it well below them, at the 19th percentile. An average solvency reading suggests debt is present but manageable, the normal state for a company that borrows to fund its operations.

Growth

On growth, Snowflake Inc. Common Stock scores 10.0, a strong reading. Its peers have a median of 6.4 across 207 Technology companies, which places it well above them, at the 99th percentile. Growth at this level is valuable when it is sustained, and the predictability pillar is the place to check whether it has been steady.

Efficiency

Snowflake Inc. Common Stock’s efficiency score is 6.5 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 7.1 among 240 Technology companies, that is below the group and the 39th percentile. Efficiency near the median says the operation is neither unusually lean nor unusually capital hungry.

Predictability

Predictability scores 5.2 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 258 Technology companies is 4.7, so Snowflake Inc. Common Stock is above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 58th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.

Strongest and weakest pillar

The gap between Snowflake Inc. Common Stock’s best and worst pillar is wide: growth at 10.0 against profitability at 2.9, 7.1 points apart. An average of two readings this different deserves a closer look than the headline number. Leading with growth is attractive as long as the expansion is earning a decent return. Weak profitability can be cyclical, so it helps to know whether margins are at a low point or a long-run level.

What would move the score

The pillar with the most room to move the score is solvency. If it rose to the median of Technology companies, 8.0, Snowflake Inc. Common Stock’s overall score would go from 5.8 to about 6.3. The weights add up to 100 points (profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and Snowflake Inc. Common Stock has a reading on every pillar.
