Against this backdrop, Finbold has identified two rivals that may threaten PLTR’s position in the first quarter. Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW) One such rival is Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), a cloud data and AI platform central to enterprise data infrastructure. Operating at the intersection of cloud migration, large-scale analytics, and AI, the company is well positioned as organizations move AI workloads into production. Investor attention has intensified following Snowflake’s leadership transition, with management emphasizing stronger execution and clearer monetization of AI services. This shift has aligned with improving sentiment around enterprise tech spending, as companies prioritize data platforms that support advanced analytics and generative AI. Snowflake’s near-term outlook for Q1 2026 is also shaped by corporate activity and partnerships. Reports that it has explored acquiring AI observability firm Observe have raised expectations that Snowflake could strengthen its AI monitoring capabilities. Meanwhile, its data partnership with Palantir underscores its role in the broader AI ecosystem, potentially expanding its reach among large enterprise and government-linked clients. Despite stiff competition from hyperscale cloud providers and private rivals like Databricks, improving demand signals and potential acquisition-led growth remain key factors that could influence Snowflake’s share price in early 2026.
