The company highlights over 9,100 accounts using Snowflake AI features and native model access via partnerships with Anthropic, Google Cloud, and OpenAI. Guidance for Q1 FY2027 product revenue is $1.262–$1.267B and full-year product revenue guidance is $5.66B. Management tone is bullish on AI-driven growth, citing rapid innovation and go-to-market execution while noting typical macro and consumption risks.

Twilio reported strong Q4 and full-year 2025 results with revenue of $1.366B in Q4 (+14% Y/Y) and FY revenue of $5.067B (+14% Y/Y), improved margins, and materially higher free cash flow.
