On July 9, Snowflake fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at $262.81/share, with turnover of $151 million.
On the news front, the company disclosed 26 insider transactions on July 8, revealing that director Michael L Speiser sold multiple batches of shares on July 6 at prices ranging from approximately $253.86 to $263.91. This follows a sustained pattern of insider disposals, including former CEO and current director Frank Slootman exercising options and selling 99,900 shares on June 29, and previously reducing holdings by 432,176 shares on May 29. Director Mark Garrett also sold 100,000 shares in late May. All transactions were executed under pre-established 10b5-1 plans.
Additionally, shareholders recently voted against the company's executive compensation proposal at the annual meeting, reflecting investor concerns over governance. Despite multiple analyst upgrades — UBS raising its target to $370 and Deutsche Bank to $300 — and strong AI ecosystem developments including partnerships with Anthropic and Thomson Reuters, the persistent volume of insider selling appears to be dampening near-term sentiment.
