The shares changed hands at weighted-average prices spanning $272.0028 to $279.9773. Since the transaction, Snowflake's stock has advanced to $295.76, a level that reflects a 95% gain over the past six months. An analysis of the stock's Fair Value estimate suggests the shares may be overvalued at current levels.

All transactions were carried out pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that Speiser adopted on December 27, 2024. Such plans allow company insiders to set up predetermined schedules for buying and selling shares, providing a defense against allegations of trading on material nonpublic information.
The shares were held indirectly by a trust, WWS-21, for which Speiser serves as a Trustee. He disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest. Following the sale, the trust retains 23,516 shares indirectly.

Snowflake, valued at $104 billion, continues to post strong revenue growth of 32% despite recent profitability challenges.
