Executive’s Street Interview Goes Viral, Forces Emergency SEC Filing
1Hackers who don’t know! 
- Snowflake = giant cloud data company, SEC = money cops for public companies, exec = overpaid talker who should’ve just smiled and walked away.
One-Line Flow:
A random street interview made Snowflake file with the SEC — because their new exec decided to leak future profits on camera like it’s small talk.
What Went Down
It started on Instagram, then hit TikTok.
Host James Dumoulin stopped Mike Gannon, Snowflake’s revenue boss (only 8 months into the job since March 2025), outside the New York Stock Exchange.
Mike, clearly vibing, said Snowflake would end the year with $4.5 billion in revenue and reach $10 billion “soon.”
The post exploded — over 2.5 million views across platforms, from Dumoulin’s 7.6M Instagram and 5.6M TikTok followers.
Internet loved it. Lawyers didn’t.
The Mess
That quick flex forced Snowflake to file an 8-K (an official “oh-shit” notice) with the SEC on October 28, 2025 — just two days after the video dropped.
They basically said:
“He’s not a designated spokesperson and isn’t authorized to disclose financial info.”
Translation: our guy went rogue on camera.
They then re-confirmed the real forecast — $4.395 billion for fiscal 2026, not his TikTok dream math.
His estimate overshot reality by $105 million.
The Timing
Snowflake’s stock was already up 70% this year, and Q3 guidance sat between $1.125B – $1.13B in product revenue.
Then the “fun” video added a splash of chaos to their best run yet.
Congrats, Mike — you managed to jinx your own rally.

The Stock Sentiment Sniffer
Every time some exec overshares on camera, stocks twitch like caffeine addicts.
Whip up a quick tracker (Google Trends + Twitter API + Stock API) and surf those tiny spikes for weekend profit.
Think of it as day trading on corporate stupidity.
The Funny Bit
He said he “watches those videos all the time.”
Well… now he’s the main character — the guy who blurted company secrets and made his boss file legal papers because of a TikTok.
