0:20 – Checking back in on the regular Cloud Wars series, Market Cap Madness, today Bob wants to talk about the fact that Salesforce, Snowflake and Workday have all reached their all-time high market caps. Combined, the three companies are currently valued at half a trillion dollars.
0:40 – All three companies will be reporting their Q3 earnings results in the next couple of weeks, and investors have set expectations extremely high.
01:17 – First up: Salesforce usually grows at 23% to 25%, regardless of how big the company gets. It is a nearly $30-billion juggernaut in the software industry, with a market cap of $320 billion.
01:40 – Snowflake is at the other end of the spectrum, in a way, with less than $1 billion in trailing 12-month revenue. But Snowflake’s market cap has been set at $120 billion!
02:09 – Workday has seen its market cap swell to an all-time high of $75 billion. Workday generally grows at 18% to 20% each quarter.
02:29 – While these companies are all extremely different, one big thing they have in common is that each has become intensely focused on industry-specific solutions and industry clouds.
