Shares of several cybersecurity and software stocks are trading lower in possible sympathy with Fortinet, which fell after reporting Q2 earnings and receiving several price target cuts form analysts.

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer recommended buying Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). &#8220;It's in transition from being a car company to being a technology company, and you want to be in there because the tech is worth a lot <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA">more than what it's selling for right now,&#8221; he added.</a>
Tesla announced in a filing that the company approved an award of 96 million shares of restricted stock to Musk under the company&#8217;s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. The board approved the payment plan on Sunday.
When asked about Accenture (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACN#NYSE">ACN</a>), he said, &#8220;I can't believe how poorly it's doing. I'm not going to get behind it until we find out what the heck is really going on there.&#8221;
HSBC analyst Phani Kanumuri, on July 28, initiated coverage on Accenture with a Reduce rating and announced a price target of $240.
Cramer said he likes Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) and recommended buying more of the stock.
Snowflake will release its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 when markets close on Aug. 27. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at 27 cents per share. That&#8217;s up from 18 cents per share in the year-ago period.
&#8220;If they don't get that warranty stuff down, it is just too tough to recommend,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>).
Ford, on July 30, reported second-quarter revenue of $46.94 billion. It beat the consensus estimate of $42.77 billion, according to Benzinga Pro. The Detroit-based automaker reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share, beating estimates of 31 cents per share.

Tesla Tech Is Worth 'A Lot More,' Jim Cramer Says: As For Accenture? 'What The Heck...'

In a stunning show of investor confidence, Vanta has just netted a $150M Series D that catapults its valuation to $4.15B, even though it didn't need the cash.
Vanta, led by CEO Christina Cacioppo, who is recognized among the wealthiest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31265237/from-dairy-farm-to-billionaires-list-americas-richest-self-made-woman-grew-up-real-fast">self‑made women</a> in the U.S.,<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250723901336/en/Vanta-Raises-%24150M-Series-D-to-Power-the-Future-of-AI-Driven-Trust"> announced</a> on July 23 that it closed a Series D financing round of $150 million. The capital raise was led by Wellington Management, signaling strong investor confidence, and brings the total raised to $504 million since 2021.
Investor participation also included CrowdStrike Ventures, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Atlassian Ventures, and longtime backer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45332493/mit-dropout-ethan-thornton-secures-100m-for-mach-industries-backed-by-sequoia-and-khosla-to-revolutionize-u-s-defense-tech">Sequoia Capital</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vanta's Explosive Growth in Annual Recurring Revenue and Clients</h2>
Since launching in 2018, Vanta has scaled rapidly, hitting an estimated $220 million in annual recurring revenue by the middle of this year, up from about $100 million in early 2024 and only $10 million by 2021,<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2025/07/23/christina-cacioppos-startup-vanta-raised-new-funds-at-a-4-billion-valuation-despite-not-needing-the-money/"> Forbes</a> reports.
<a href="https://www.vanta.com/">Vanta</a> says it now serves over 12,000 clients across 58 countries, including big names like Atlassian (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEAM#NASDAQ">TEAM</a>), Omni Hotels, Duolingo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUOL#NASDAQ">DUOL</a>), Intercom, Mistral AI, and Icelandair Group. According to Forbes, this customer base dwarfs competitors like Drata and shows Vanta's dominant position in compliance tech.
Vanta's platform automates compliance frameworks such as Service Organization Control 2, International Organization for Standardization 27001, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and General Data Protection Regulation, using continuous monitoring powered by AI.

Its newly released AI agent reportedly enables security review workflows that are up to 81% faster, though human oversight remains to prevent hallucinations. The startup said in the statement that it also recently acquired Riskey, a vendor risk monitoring startup to add real‑time, AI‑powered risk monitoring to its product suite.
Vanta says it has also broadened its offerings and global presence with several key initiatives. The company recently launched Vanta for Marketplaces to help major ecosystem players such as Atlassian and Snowflake (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) manage trust across their partner networks.
Vanta has additionally expanded support for government compliance frameworks, including the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800‑53. To strengthen its international footprint, the company said it opened a London office, launched an Australian data center, and surpassed 1,000 employees worldwide, reflecting its rapid global growth.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Investors Believe Vanta Will Be a Public‑Market Staple</h2>
More than a decade ago, Cacioppo and Matt Witheiler, head of Wellington's late-stage growth investing, met as venture capitalists in New York, often catching up over coffee at the now‑closed City Bakery. Witheiler recalled that Cacioppo was "10 out of 10 on the smartness scale." They reconnected about four years ago, which eventually led to an informal conversation earlier this year that resulted in the latest funding round, Forbes says.
According to Witheiler, the market for compliance and regulation is accelerating, and Vanta is uniquely positioned to capitalize over the next decade-plus. Forbes reports that Wellington aims to cultivate Vanta into a long‑term public company, and backing the startup now accelerates that path.
Despite not having spent any of its prior round, Vanta chose to raise again because it "felt like the capital would help us do that" when the timing was right, Forbes reports.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Founders and SaaS Builders Should Learn From Vanta's Strategy</h2>
Forbes reports that Vanta has widened its lead over competitors partly because of "very efficient" sales and marketing spend, according to Witheiler. Cacioppo added, "Most customers don't care if you created the space—they care if you have the best product for them today."
The latest round supports Vanta's continued growth as it expands its platform, customer base, and international presence.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With SNOW

Snowflake's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.02% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.47 million shares sold short, which is 3.23% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.95 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Snowflake Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1753977634_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Snowflake has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Snowflake's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Snowflake's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.08%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Snowflake's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.44% since its last report.

Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.39 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Snowflake Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1752091261_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Snowflake has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Snowflake's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Snowflake's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.57%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Snowflake?

Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), an AI data cloud company, is experiencing significant upward momentum, with its stock trading near its 52-week high of $226.60 and well above its 50-day moving average of $197.41. 
This surge is fueled by a combination of strong financial performance, strategic product innovations, and aggressive inorganic growth strategies, including key partnerships and acquisitions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Momentum And Financial Highlights</h2>
Snowflake&#8217;s stock has performed well year-to-date, rising 45%, and gaining 48% in the last three months, significantly outperforming the NYSE Composite Index&#8217;s gains of 8% and 12% over the same periods.

This trajectory is supported by the company&#8217;s recent financial disclosures. On May 21, Snowflake reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45553121/snowflake-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-ai-data-cloud-company-sees-25-growth-ahead-shares-climb">first-quarter revenue</a> of $1.04 billion, marking a 26% year-over-year increase and exceeding analyst estimates of $1.01 billion. 
Snowflake earns most of its revenue through a consumption-based model, charging customers based on the compute and storage resources they use on its platform. The company also generates revenue from professional services, including consulting and training.
Its product revenue, primarily generated through a consumption-based model that charges customers based on their usage of compute and storage resources, also grew by 26% year-over-year, reaching $996.8 million. 
Looking ahead, Snowflake has provided an optimistic outlook, projecting second-quarter product revenue between $1.035 billion and $1.04 billion, representing a 25% year-over-year growth. The company anticipates full-year product revenue to reach $4.33 billion, also indicating a 25% year-over-year increase.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Growth And AI Focus</h2>
The company&#8217;s strategic focus on product innovation and expansion has been a critical factor in its recent success. On February 27, Snowflake announced an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43999325/snowflake-doubles-down-on-ai-expands-openai-partnership-microsoft-365-teams-to-have-new-cortex-agents">expanded partnership</a> with Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) , integrating Cortex Agents directly into Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams. 
This collaboration leverages OpenAI&#8217;s models within Cortex, enabling AI agents to process both structured and unstructured data, which significantly enhances user access and productivity. 
CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy has emphasized Snowflake&#8217;s AI-centric vision, noting that Cortex also supports models from prominent AI companies such as Anthropic, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), and DeepSeek, thereby solidifying Snowflake&#8217;s position as a central hub for enterprise AI solutions. 
In another strategic move on June 18, Intapp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTA#NASDAQ">INTA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45997907/snowflake-teams-up-with-intapp-to-bring-smarter-deal-insights-to-wall-street-and-legal-firms">announced a partnership</a> with Snowflake to enhance deal insights through AI-powered analytics specifically for the capital markets and legal sectors. 
Furthermore, on June 3, Snowflake <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45739846/snowflake-sets-sights-on-350-billion-database-market-with-crunchy-data-acquisition">revealed its plans</a> to acquire Crunchy Data, a move aimed at integrating advanced PostgreSQL support into its AI Data Cloud. 
This acquisition is designed to meet the increasing demand for secure and reliable AI databases, allowing Snowflake to tap into the $350 billion global database market.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Confidence And Competitive Edge</h2>
Despite operating in a highly competitive landscape against formidable players like Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Redshift, Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (GOOG) Google BigQuery, Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, and Databricks in the cloud data warehousing and data lakehouse market, Snowflake continues to demonstrate a strong competitive edge.
Analyst sentiment largely remains bullish on Snowflake&#8217;s future. A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SNOW/analyst-ratings">consensus price forecast</a> from 37 analysts projects the stock to reach $227.56. While UBS issued the highest forecast at $265 on June 4, 2025, Morgan Stanley set the lowest at $185 on April 16, 2025. More recent ratings from Morgan Stanley, CICC, and Wells Fargo average $245.67, suggesting a potential upside of 9.6% for the stock. 
Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin, on May 22, raised Snowflake&#8217;s price forecast from $175 to $215, calling it a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/05/45559147/snowflake-jumps-8-pre-market-after-piper-sander-hikes-price-target-to-215-calls-it-high-conviction-growth-play">top growth pick</a> for 2025. Bracelin&#8217;s bullish view hinges on Snowflake hitting the &#8220;Rule of 50&#8221;: 25% product revenue growth and 25% free cash flow margins at $4 billion Annual Recurring Revenue. 
Bank of America&#8217;s Brad Sills, on June 3, identified Snowflake as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45755544/rising-ai-analytics-budgets-could-lift-microsoft-snowflake-datadog">key beneficiary of AI and cloud trends</a>, noting that data analytics continues to be a top spending priority according to his survey. 
CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer, on June 4, praised CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45767953/jim-cramer-arrowhead-pharmaceuticals-doesnt-have-the-horses">describing him as thoughtful</a>, sharp at closing deals, and full of momentum.
Adding to the positive outlook, JP Morgan analyst Mark Murphy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45975700/snowflake-ai-push-gains-traction-jpmorgan-analyst-sees-potential">highlighted system integrators</a>, noting that Snowflake produces results for its customers as the company expands its AI and data platform strategy. They said, &#8220;Once Snowflake starts to really get used…it grows like wildfire.&#8221;

Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) stock is trading higher Tuesday. The movement appears to be driven by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">positive analyst coverage</a>.
What Happened: Morgan Stanley analyst Sanjit Singh assumed Snowflake with an Overweight rating on Tuesday and set a price target of $262, citing improvement in secular growth trends.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SNOW Stock</h3>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Snowflake &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.
