On September 30, Snowflake rose 3.02% in regular trading, trading at approximately $341.10 per share, with turnover of $2.2 billion. The rebound follows the completion of a $3.75 billion zero-coupon convertible senior notes private placement, upsized from an initially planned $3.5 billion.
The offering comprises $2 billion of notes due 2029 and $1.75 billion of notes due 2031, with initial purchasers holding options to buy up to an additional $300 million and $250 million of each tranche, respectively. The company expects approximately $3.70 billion in net proceeds, which will be partially allocated to capped call transactions — designed to mitigate dilution — and share repurchases, a combination that has shifted market sentiment toward the positive after the stock fell over 5% on September 28 when the offering was first announced amid dilution concerns.
The strong demand that allowed upsizing signals robust institutional appetite. Multiple Wall Street firms have recently raised price targets on Snowflake following its better-than-expected fiscal Q2 results, with product revenue growing 37% year over year. The average analyst target stands at approximately $438.
