About Partha Mohanram: Sometimes the best investing strategies don't come from the world of investing. Sometimes research that changes the investing world can come from the halls of academia. Partha Mohanram is a great example of this. While academic research has shown that value investing works over time, it has found the opposite for growth investing. Mohanram turned that research on its head by developing a growth model that produced significant market outperformance. His research paper "Separating Winners from Losers among Low Book-to-Market Stocks using Financial Statement Analysis" looked at the criteria that can be used to separate growth stocks that continue their upward trajectory from those that don't. Mohanram is currently the John H. Watson Chair in Value Investing at the University of Toronto and was previously an Associate Professor at the Columbia Business School.

Validea Detailed Fundamental Analysis - SNOW

Investors in Snowflake Inc (Symbol: SNOW) saw new options begin trading today, for the October 3rd expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the SNOW options chain for the new October 3rd contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $190.00 strike price has a current bid of $12.95. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $190.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $177.05 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of SNOW, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $193.32/share today.
Because the $190.00 strike represents an approximate 2% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 57%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 6.82% return on the cash commitment, or 57.85% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Snowflake Inc, and highlighting in green where the $190.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $255.00 strike price has a current bid of 98 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of SNOW stock at the current price level of $193.32/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $255.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 32.41% if the stock gets called away at the October 3rd expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if SNOW shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Snowflake Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing SNOW's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $255.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $255.00 strike represents an approximate 32% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 87%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.51% boost of extra return to the investor, or 4.30% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 62%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 66%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $193.32) to be 52%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Nice NICE is benefiting from the continued strength of its cloud business, expansion of its customer base, and AI-powered solutions. Increased adoption of its CXone platform saw large enterprises integrating AI tools to enhance customer experience.
In the first quarter of 2025, the company reported cloud revenues of $526.3 million, which rose 12% year over year. Strong cloud revenue growth fueled a solid year-over-year increase in total revenues, driven by the growth in adoption of CXone Mpower by customers.
Building on this momentum, NiCE recently expanded its partnership with Salesforce CRM to deliver seamless, AI-driven customer experiences through deeper integration between NiCE CXone Mpower and Salesforce Service Cloud.
This collaboration introduces Bring Your Own Contact Center, enhanced Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) capabilities, and a bidirectional Zero Copy integration with Salesforce Data Cloud.

It empowers organizations to deliver connected, efficient, and highly personalized service experiences.
NICE Benefits From Expanding Clientele
NICE’s diverse portfolio, featuring solutions like Actimize, Evidencentral, CXone, and Inform Elite, has been gaining popularity. The company’s focus on its cloud offerings, particularly its CXone platform, has been a major growth driver.
The company’s diverse portfolio is helping it attract new customers. Its partnership with Salesforce, RingCentral RNG, Snowflake SNOW, and Amazon’s cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), has been noteworthy.
NICE recently announced a multi-year extension of its long-standing partnership with RingCentral to market and sell RingCentral Contact Center, powered by NICE CXone Mpower. The renewed collaboration, building on their relationship since 2015, aims to enhance AI-powered customer engagement and enterprise-grade CX solutions.
In June 2025, NICE revealed a strategic collaboration with Snowflake, enabling CXone Mpower to leverage Snowflake Secure Data Sharing to centralize and share customer interaction data across front, middle, and back-office systems-streamlining automation of workflows like service fulfillment, billing, and claims handling.

NICE Grows Through Expanding Portfolio and Strong Partnerships

Salesforce, Inc. CRM is making its Data Cloud platform a key part of its growth strategy. Data Cloud platform brings together customer data from multiple sources and makes it usable across Salesforce products. In the last reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the platform’s annual recurring revenues soared 120% year over year and stored more than 22 trillion data points.
Salesforce is witnessing a strong adoption trend for its Data Cloud platform. In the first quarter, nearly 60% of the company’s top 100 deals included both Data Cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, reflecting how valuable they can be if paired together. Additionally, roughly half of the new Data Cloud bookings in the last reported quarter came from existing clients, suggesting strong satisfaction and room for further growth.
Salesforce is also integrating the Data Cloud platform with its other tools like Agentforce, Tableau and Slack. These connections make it easier for enterprises to activate their data and apply AI across operations. This integration could drive higher contract values and deeper customer relationships for Salesforce.
To stay ahead in the competition across the enterprise software space, Salesforce will need to continuously upgrade its products and ensure quick, cost-effective deployment for clients. If the company can continue this momentum, Data Cloud could serve as a major revenue driver and strengthen Salesforce’s position in AI-powered enterprise solutions.
We believe that the Data Cloud platform has the potential to anchor Salesforce’s revenues, which are currently witnessing a decelerating growth trend. After years of consistent double-digit revenue increases, the momentum has faded. In the first quarter, total revenues rose just 7.7% year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate depicts that this trend will persist, with mid-to-high single-digit growth expected for fiscal 2026 and 2027.
How Rivals Stack Up Against Salesforce’s Data Cloud Service
Salesforce faces intensified competition from Microsoft Corporation MSFT and Snowflake Inc. SNOW in the data cloud space.
Microsoft offers data services through its Azure Data platform. The company has already integrated the platform with its other productivity tools, including Power Platform, Dynamics 365 and Copilot AI, to enhance user experience and attract new clients. Many companies already use Microsoft’s cloud and productivity software, making it easy to add its data services.
Snowflake is another major competitor, known for its powerful cloud-based data warehouse. Unlike Salesforce, Snowflake focuses only on data, allowing companies to store, process and share large volumes easily. It also supports multiple clouds and has strong analytics tools.
Salesforce’s Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates
Shares of Salesforce have plunged 29.1% year to date against the Zacks Computer – Software industry’s growth of 20.8%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
From a valuation standpoint, CRM trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 19.77, significantly below the industry’s average of 35.58.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Salesforce’s fiscal 2026 and 2027 earnings implies a year-over-year increase of approximately 10.8% and 11.5%, respectively. Estimates for fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2027 have been revised upward in the past 60 days.

Salesforce currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
