Now time for a few of right now’s trending tickers, going to test in on shares of Snowflake and Quantum Computing Firm IonQ. First up, Snowflake shares. They’re hovering right now. That is after beating first quarter earnings expectations, elevating its full 12 months steerage. So robust outlook for quarterly gross sales. They did increase the total 12 months forecast for product income to about 4.33 billion.
