Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) pioneered the data cloud, a platform that helps clients manage and make sense of big data. Of course, data is knowledge and knowledge is power, but that’s only true if you have the tools to harness data and unlock its value. And that’s become increasingly difficult as enterprises are generating data at a phenomenal pace. So Snowflake attempts to solve a critical problem.
In a somewhat surprising move, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway invested $735 million in this high-growth tech stock around the time of its initial public offering last September. Since then, Buffett has seen big gains, and his position in Snowflake is now worth $1.5 billion.
In this Backstage Pass video, which aired on Aug. 26, 2021, Motley Fool contributors Trevor Jennewine and Brian Withers discuss Snowflake’s second-quarter earnings. Spoiler alert: The company crushed it.
Trevor Jennewine: The gist of Snowflake’s business, enterprises are creating a lot of data today and it’s spread across a lot of different systems. The idea behind snowflake is to bring all of that data together so that you can use it to make an informed business decisions, essentially. To solve the problem of data sprawl, they’ve created the data cloud, and this combines a lot of old legacy tools or point solutions like pipelines and data lakes, data warehouses.

Corsair Gaming may have peaked in price well before “meme stocks” became a thing. And it may suffer valid concerns that pandemic tailwinds that turbo-charged sales growth for this gaming peripherals purveyor are fading. Nevertheless, that hasn’t hurt its appeal among Reddit traders.
