Snowflake appointed Jonathan Beaulier as chief revenue officer on 31 March 2026, whilst Morningstar expanded its investment datasets on Snowflake Marketplace for institutional clients. The moves strengthen Snowflake's position in financial data workflows and place an experienced insider in charge of monetisation. The Morningstar expansion demonstrates how third-party content can deepen usage in key verticals like financial services. If Snowflake replicates this pattern across other data providers and industries, marketplace activity could become a more significant driver of consumption growth and customer retention, helping offset potential slowdowns in migration-driven revenue. However, Snowflake's dependence on hyperscaler infrastructure pricing remains a risk. The company's narrative projects $7.8 billion revenue by 2028, with some analysts forecasting $10.1 billion by 2029.
Morningstar has introduced an AI assistant embedded in Direct Advisory Suite, its flagship advisor platform. The tool integrates investment research, portfolio analysis and proposal generation into a single workspace, using natural-language requests to streamline advisor workflows. The AI assistant automates multi-step tasks including identifying rating changes, preparing meeting briefs and converting client statements into actionable proposals. It draws on Morningstar's independent data and research whilst maintaining enterprise-grade security, with client data never used for AI model training. The launch is part of Morningstar's strategy to become "the intelligence layer for investing". Initial rollout is available to select US-based users, with broader availability planned for US and Canadian clients throughout 2026. The tool can also be accessed through other AI platforms via Morningstar's Model Context Protocol connections.
Morningstar has raised $120 million in a Series C round led by Ribbit Capital, valuing the financial data and analytics company at $1.45 billion. The investment follows quarterly results that exceeded analyst expectations on revenue, earnings per share and EBITDA. Chief executive Kunal Kapoor highlighted meaningful growth in revenue, operating income and adjusted operating income for 2025. The results outperformed peers in the financial exchanges and data sector. Founded in 2023, the company is developing new foundation series collective investment trusts for retirement solutions and has hired Scott Brown to lead its direct platform with AI-enabled product rollouts. However, heavy investment in AI and platforms could pressure margins before revenue growth materialises. Community fair value estimates range from $115.77 to $595.65 per share.
Companies are using artificial intelligence to justify cutting headcount rather than redeploying workers to boost productivity, according to Morningstar. Analyst Lochlan Halloway wrote that the market is focused on what AI might destroy instead of the value it could create. Firms including Australian logistics software company Wisetech Global have reduced their workforce in response to AI adoption. However, Halloway noted that such redundancies were already a pattern before AI emerged as justification for job cuts. The analysis suggests companies are missing opportunities to unlock AI's potential gains through workforce redeployment rather than eliminating positions.

The new position represents 1.2% of Berkeley's $314.47 million in reportable assets under management. Morningstar shares traded at $204.66 as of 28 January 2026, down 38.65% over the past year.
