In the near term, the key catalyst is whether AI workloads translate into sustained product revenue growth, with the biggest risk being that AI-native and bundled cloud alternatives blunt that demand. The latest Cortex AI Gateway and security integrations modestly support the catalyst but do not fundamentally change these risks yet.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">The Cortex AI Gateway launch is the most relevant recent announcement here, because it directly addresses AI governance, interoperability, and cost visibility across agents. By giving enterprises a single control point for AI access and spend, Cortex AI Gateway sits squarely in the middle of Snowflake&#8217;s AI adoption story, but it also highlights how exposed the company is if customers push harder on AI cost control or favor integrated hyperscaler offerings instead.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Yet beneath the AI excitement, investors should be aware of how quickly richer AI native and bundled cloud alternatives could pressure Snowflake&#8217;s pricing power and&#8230;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/community\/narratives\/us\/software\/nyse-snow\/snowflake\/m9m5lrvp-enterprise-ai-adoption-and-cloud-migration-will-generate-lasting-momentum-yxpw?utm_medium=finance_user&amp;utm_campaign=integrated-pitch&amp;utm_source=yahoo&amp;blueprint=4702379\" data-ylk=\"slk:Read%20the%20full%20narrative%20on%20Snowflake%20(it&#039;s%20free!);elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;source:content-canvas%20default\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Read the full narrative on Snowflake (it&#039;s free!)&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yTrafficOrigin&quot;:&quot;content-canvas default&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Read the full narrative on Snowflake (it&#8217;s free!)<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Snowflake&#8217;s narrative projects $10.1 billion revenue and $792.7 million earnings by 2029.
