The first Wall Street firm to initiate coverage on Snowflake after the cloud company's big IPO pop slapped a sell rating on the stock and warned of a "violent sell-off."

Shares of Snowflake more than doubled in their first day of trading Wednesday and continued to swing in the following days. Summit Insights Group said in a note to clients that Snowflake is not a unique company in the enterprise software space, and the firm expects a pullback of more than 25% for the stock.
