Snowflake is twice as expensive as Zoom Video, its closest competitor, by one important metric after its eye-popping IPO.

Snowflake Inc.’s record initial public offering gives the company an eye-popping valuation that makes other frothy technology names look cheap by comparison.

Snowflake IPO: 5 things to know about the Berkshire-backed company after its record software offering Zoom Video Communications Inc. ZM, -0.67% held the crown for the most expensive tech stock by many metrics, but its ratio of market value to sales for the past four quarters is just half of Snowflake’s, at roughly 87x. Zscaler Inc. ZS, -1.19%, another hot cloud-software name, has a valuation of about 39 times its sales.

iframe.twitter-tweet { width: 100% !important; } Snowflake sold 28 million shares to raise $3.36 billion through its offering, and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. BRK.A, +0.30% BRK.B, +0.29% and Salesforce.com Inc. CRM, -0.42% each agreed to purchase $250 million in shares at the IPO price concurrently, pushing the total to $3.86 billion. Underwriters have the option to purchase 4.2 million more shares, which could bring the amount that Snowflake ultimately raises up to $4.4 billion.
