At the end of last year, . Motley Fool Writers like me were asked to choose our best inventory in the USA to consider buying for 2025. I went with growth actions below the councilors Snowflake (Nyse: snow).

Of course, the year is still in its infancy. But so far the actions are doing well. In January, it increased by 18%. This is compared to a 3% profit for S&P 500 index.

Introduction to snowflakes

Snowflake specializes in data storage solutions and analysis. So he is currently very successful on the reverse of the artificial intelligence boom (AI).

If the company is interested in applying artificial intelligence to its own data, the first step is to properly obtain this data. And that’s exactly what companies can lend a hand.

New AI products

But it offers much more. It also offers its own solutions, such as “Cortex AI”. This allows customers to build generative AI applications using fully managed huge languages ​​(LLM) models.

Through Cortex AI, customers can access high -power models with anthropic. This is one of the leaders in the AI ​​generative space with “Claude” models (which are similar to chatgpt).

Deepseek integration

It is worth noting that in January Snowflake moved to offer Deepseek (modern Chinese generative application AI) on the AI ​​model. This significantly raised the price of the action.

Snowflake said that this considered the potential risk of organizing Chinese AI technology before he finally decides to offer clients. “We decided that as long as we are clear to customers, we do not see the problems that support him-said Christian Kleinerman, the Vice President of the Product.

I remain stubborn

Looking to the future, I remain sanguine about this technological stocks. I think that it is worth considering the portfolio today.

And I’m not the only one who is stubborn here. Recently, the Wedbush Technology Dan Ives analyst – who has a better assessment of the action – raised the target price to $ 210. This is about 16% above the current share price. Ives believe that the company’s rush will be continued in 2025, because more companies are looking for safe and sound cloud -based data platforms and experiment with AI.

We believe that Snowflake represents a forceful second derivative player in the Al Revolution, which is well prepared for the apply of increased demand for the apply of AL, especially since more enterprises transfer more loads in the cloud in the next 12-18 months to supply Al and products tools.

High risk game, high prize

Ok, at first glance this action looks really steep. Currently, the price ratio to profit (p/e) is 188. But there is a reason-firma simply becomes profitable. So I need some time to grow into the P/E ratio.

Nevertheless, high valuation increases the risk. If the augment slows down or is lower than expected (this year, the budget was expected to augment revenues of 23%), the shares may be unstable. And it may not grow enough for this ratio of p/e.

However, with a long -term view, I remain sanguine. I still think that this is the best American supply that should be taken into account in 2025 and later.
