Snowflake, a cloud-based data-warehousing company, has partnered with Nvidia to offer generative-AI technology to its customers. This collaboration has made Wall Street analysts predict a potential growth driver for Snowflake, and it has triggered a positive response in the stock market. Although Snowflake stocks (ticker: SNOW) have gained only 20% this year in comparison to other tech giants like Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT), analysts are optimistic that this deal will help boost the company’s stock price.

Analysts are bullish on the partnership, including Evercore ISI analyst Kirk Materne.
