TL;DR

Snowflake's shares plummeted 20% following the announcement of CEO Frank Slootman's retirement and the release of weaker-than-expected earnings and first-quarter guidance. The company's fourth-quarter results and lower-than-anticipated first-quarter outlook led to Morgan Stanley downgrading its stock rating, while analysts at Macquarie Equity Research upgraded the stock, citing confidence in the new CEO, Sridhar Ramaswamy, and the company's emphasis on AI/ML. Ramaswamy, a former Google executive, will replace Slootman, who will remain chairman of the board.
