Meta uzavřela dohodu a zpřísní pravidla pro teenagery
SNAP Snap
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
In what is being referred to as potentially social media's "Big Tobacco moment," Meta Platforms (META +2.47%) recently announced an agreement with 52 attorneys general under which the parent company of Facebook and Instagram will pay up to $18 billion over the next decade and significantly change its policies for teen users.

While the fine would be the largest consumer-protection settlement ever, excluding Big Tobacco, most Wall Street analysts and experts believe Meta avoided what could have been a vastly larger financial settlement.

But the ramifications from this landmark teen-safety lawsuit could be far worse for social media company Snap (SNAP +4.49%). Here's why.

What the Meta settlement means Per the agreement, Meta will pay $12.7 billion to the participating states and U.S. territories in the lawsuit in annual installments over the next decade. The remaining $5.3 billion will be paid based on two conditions: Alphabet's YouTube and TikTok must apply some of the same changes that Meta is making for teens, and those companies must collectively pay a matching $5.3 billion.

Most analysts considered the agreement fairly benign because, before it was agreed to, the maximum damages Meta faced were supposedly as high as $1.4 trillion, with state attorneys general realistically targeting a figure somewhere in the $200 billion range.

Perhaps the more significant part of the case concerns the changes Meta agreed to make to its platform relating to teen usage. Meta plans to limit teen usage to two hours per day across its platforms, and this limit can only be turned off with a parent's permission. Teens will also not be allowed to use Meta's apps between midnight and 6 a.m., and, by default, notifications will be muted between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., during school hours.

Other changes include preventing teens from seeing the number of likes and reactions on their posts, and eliminating cosmetic surgery and extreme makeup filters.

Many questions remain about how effective these changes will be and how easily teens will be able to get around them. But it's worth noting that Meta doesn't generate significant revenue from teens. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified that teens account for only 1% of the company's revenue and that Meta generates nearly all of its revenue from advertising.

I'm not sure that fully quantifies how much advertising revenue teen audiences actually generate for Meta's social media platforms, but the consensus on Wall Street is that this is not an overly punitive outcome for Meta, at least compared to what it could have been.

Why it could be a bigger deal for Snap Snap is nowhere near as big a company as Meta, with a market cap of roughly $9.4 billion as of this writing. Through the first six months of the year, Snap has generated about $3.1 billion of revenue.

But it also looks like Snap will soon face similar charges to the ones Meta just addressed.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday recently announced that the state is suing Snap for allegedly failing to be truthful with parents about the type of content teens were exposed to on Snapchat. Furthermore, the lawsuit accuses Snap of using addictive features to keep younger users engaged. The stock initially sank on the news.

Snap is much more reliant on younger users than Meta. Back in April, a Pew Research report showed that teens were using Snapchat for messaging more frequently each day than TikTok or Instagram. Teens also reported posting more frequently on Snapchat than on other platforms.

A study from Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health conducted in 2022 and published in 2024 found that 41% of Snapchat's overall revenue came from users under 18. That was the largest share of revenue from that age group among similar platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.

Snap already faces significant challenges. The stock is down nearly 80% since its 2017 IPO due to a lack of profitability, competition, an inability to grow high-quality customers, and shareholder dilution.

Investors may have anticipated that Snap could face fallout from similar issues to those that Meta is facing, but usage restrictions like those being implemented at Meta could be far more detrimental to Snap's business and revenue.

Snap klesl o 7,6 %, tržby i upravená EBITDA prudce rostly
SNAP Snap
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Snap (SNAP - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 7.6% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.

Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Snap due for a breakout? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Snap Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.

SNAP's Q2 Revenues Climb 19% Y/Y, Adjusted EBITDA Surges 505%Snap reported second-quarter 2026 net loss of 10 cents per diluted share. Adjusted earnings came in at 6 cents per share compared with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents.

Revenues rose 19% year over year to $1.59 billion and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.31%. The figure exceeded the top end of the company's prior guidance range of $1.52-$1.55 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 505% year over year (a $208 million increase) to $250 million from $41 million a year earlier and came above the high end of the company's prior guided range of $175-$200 million. Operating loss narrowed 34% year over year to $171 million from $260 million.

Top-Line DetailsRevenues from North America (59% of total revenues) rose 15% year over year to $943 million. Revenues from Europe (22% of revenues) climbed 33% year over year to $354 million. Revenues from the Rest of World (ROW) (19% of revenues) rose 17% year over year to $302 million.

Average revenue per user (ARPU) increased 13% year over year to $3.25. North America's ARPU climbed 23% year over year to $10.26, Europe's ARPU rose 36% year over year to $3.62, and ROW's ARPU increased 4% year over year to $1.

Advertising revenues rose 9% year over year to $1.28 billion, reflecting improved momentum with large advertisers in North America, broader adoption of the company's AI-powered Smart Campaign Solutions, and continued strength among small and medium-sized businesses. Other Revenue, which includes Snapchat+ subscriptions, Memories Storage and Lens+, jumped 85% year over year to $316 million. The company noted that less than 3% of its monthly active users are currently paying subscribers, indicating room for continued direct-revenue growth through premium features and additional subscription products.

User Engagement MetricsSnap's global community reached 493 million daily active users (DAU) in the second quarter, up 5% year over year and from 483 million in the prior quarter. Snap reported 971 million monthly active users (MAU), up 4% year over year, moving closer to the company's long-stated goal of 1 billion MAUs.

In the United States, the number of people posting to Spotlight grew more than 115% year over year, while Spotlight daily active viewers grew more than 20% year over year, supported by continued investment in creators and AI-powered recommendations.

The company also noted that its U.S. audience continues to broaden quarter over quarter, led by users aged 35 and older, increasing Snapchat's relevance in categories such as automotive, healthcare, home goods, financial services, insurance and business-to-business services, and helping diversify the advertiser base.

Advertising DetailsAI-driven advertising tools drove efficiency gains during the quarter. For app advertisers, cost per install declined 8% year over year, cost per purchase decreased 18% year over year, and app purchase volume increased 128% year over year. Dynamic Product Ads revenues grew 43% year over year on greater adoption by retailers. Advertisers increased spending across native surfaces such as Sponsored Snaps, where roughly one-third of Snapchatters reached were incremental to other surfaces on Snapchat.

Citing an independent study from Measured, the company noted that Snapchat delivered approximately 19.3% higher incremental return on ad spend for the brands in that portfolio, versus the blended incremental return across their social advertising overall.

AI-Driven Operating EfficiencySnap highlighted several internal efficiency gains tied to its AI investments during the quarter. Code commits per engineer increased 75% year over year, while major reliability issues declined 57% year over year. The company's internal AI code reviewer now covers approximately 90% of pull requests and has saved an estimated 30,000 hours of code-review time. Its AI-powered support agent answers approximately 3.9 million Snapchatter questions per month and has cut support ticket volume by approximately 62% since the start of the year. In advertising operations, first-pass image-review automation rose from 40% in the second quarter of 2025 to nearly 90% in the second quarter of 2026, improving advertiser approval speed and content safety while lowering operating costs.

Operating Details

GAAP gross margin expanded seven percentage points year over year to 58%, while adjusted Gross Margin reached 59%. The company's total adjusted cost structure increased just 4% year over year, as operating efficiencies offset continued investment in long-term revenue drivers.

Balance Sheet and Cash FlowSnap ended the second quarter with approximately $2.7 billion in cash and marketable securities. Operating cash flow was $176 million for the quarter, up 99% year over year, and $919 million on a trailing-12-month basis. Free Cash Flow was $121 million for the quarter, up 407% year over year, and $706 million on a trailing-12-month basis.

GuidanceSnap expects third-quarter 2026 revenues in the range of $1.70-$1.74 billion, implying growth of approximately 19% year over year at the midpoint. The company projects adjusted EBITDA between $300 million and $350 million for the third quarter, with personnel-cost savings from its recently completed restructuring expected to be more fully reflected in the third quarter and beyond.

Snap raised its full-year infrastructure cost guidance to $1.65-$1.7 billion, from a prior range of $1.60-$1.65 billion, reflecting additional investment in AI and machine-learning infrastructure needed to support revenue growth. All Other Cost of Revenue, excluding Infrastructure Costs, is still expected to represent 16-17% of revenues for the full year. Full-year adjusted Operating Expenses are expected at approximately $2.75 billion, with stock-based compensation expected at approximately $1.05 billion.

How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a flat trend in fresh estimates.

The consensus estimate has shifted -125% due to these changes.

VGM ScoresCurrently, Snap has a great Growth Score of A, a score with the same score on the momentum front. However, the stock has a score of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for this investment strategy.

Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of A. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.

Outlook Snap has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.

Performance of an Industry PlayerSnap belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry. Another stock from the same industry, CCC Intelligent Solutions Holdings Inc. (CCC - Free Report) , has gained 14.4% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.

CCC Intelligent Solutions reported revenues of $285.93 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +9.8%. EPS of $0.10 for the same period compares with $0.09 a year ago.

For the current quarter, CCC Intelligent Solutions is expected to post earnings of $0.11 per share, indicating a change of +22.2% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

CCC Intelligent Solutions has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of B.

Snapchat je po 15 letech stále ve ztrátě

FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Growth investors are OK with trading off profits for high revenue growth as long as losses get smaller over time. That setup implies that a company can eventually become profitable.

However, if a company remains unprofitable for 15 years, it's best to stay on the sidelines. Snapchat (SNAP +1.29%) fits that category. It's still unprofitable despite having 971 million monthly active users (MAUs). The stock is down by more than 30% year to date.

Margins have been improving, but it's also been too long Snapchat delivered second-quarter results that revealed 19% year-over-year revenue growth and narrowing losses. It's a good combination for any growth stock, but investors have every right to be impatient with a company that has remained unprofitable for 15 years.

Still, net losses came in at $164 million compared to $1.6 billion in revenue. That's a negative net profit margin of roughly 10%. It's still not growing as fast as Meta Platforms (META -1.19%), which delivered 28% year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 2026.

Snapchat anticipates $300 million to $350 million in adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter. That doesn't translate into positive net income, though it's an improvement from the $250 million in adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter. Leadership anticipates positive net income in 2027. A "multi-year dilution management program" beginning in 2027 may undo some of the benefits of positive net income.

The company has done a good job of keeping costs in control as other tech companies scramble to increase their AI spending. Snapchat may fall behind on compelling long-term opportunities because of that decision, but it's a prudent one given the company's financials.

User activity is declining in key regions One of Snapchat's strengths and weaknesses is its 971 million monthly active users. It's a large user base Snapchat can tap into for additional revenue growth, but that also means the company has fewer opportunities to meaningfully grow its user base.

For instance, Snapchat's 971 million MAUs represent a 4% year-over-year growth rate. It's also adding users at a slower rate. Between Q1 2025 and Q2 2025, Snapchat added 19 million MAUs. Looking at Q1 and Q2 2026, Snapchat added only 15 million MAUs.

The positive year-over-year growth rate also masks declining growth rates in North America and Europe, two of Snapchat's most critical markets. Its daily active users in North America are down by 6% year over year and have been steadily declining for multiple quarters. European DAUs are down by 2% year over year and have been flat for multiple quarters.

The U.S. accounted for 59% of Snapchat's Q2 revenue, and Europe made up 22% of total revenue. Sure, DAUs across the rest of the world continue to grow, but ARPU remains much lower than in the U.S. and Europe. The ARPU for non-U.S. and non-European regions is only $1, while the ARPU is $10.26 in the U.S.

This long-term trend does not look good for Snapchat, and if it's not reversed, potential profits in 2027 may not last for long.

Snap klesá po žalobě Pensylvánie, Meta téměř beze změny
SNAP Snap
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Pennsylvania just handed Snap a fresh lawsuit hours after the stock posted a rare gain, while Meta quietly closed a deal that could have cost it close to its entire market cap. The two prints reveal exactly how much balance…

Two separate youth-safety legal events are hitting the social media group in the same Wednesday morning session, and the market reactions are moving in opposite directions. One name is buying certainty at a price it can absorb, while the other is picking up fresh exposure with the smallest balance sheet in the group.

Snap (NYSE:SNAP | SNAP Price Prediction) stock is down 7% to $5.52 after Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday sued the company over Snapchat’s effects on children, erasing Tuesday’s 7% gain. Meanwhile, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock is down 0.4% to $567.70 after agreeing to settle a 29-state teen social media addiction case for up to $16.7 billion, ending a trial in its second week.

For sector context, the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) ETF is up 0.1% to $711.63, so the selling looks Snap-specific rather than a broad technology-sector move. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is a covered co-defendant in the remaining teen social media cases, with no same-day price move available.

Pennsylvania Sues Snap While Meta Settles With 29 States Pennsylvania’s attorney general filed suit Tuesday evening alleging Snapchat is designed for compulsive use by minors and that its disappearing-message design puts children at risk. The filing was reported by CBS News, The Hill, and NBC10 Philadelphia. Snap hasn’t been found liable of anything at this stage.

Meta agreed to settle claims from state attorneys general who had alleged the company deliberately designed Facebook and Instagram to addict teens, with the states citing violations of state consumer protection laws and the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Bloomberg reported that Meta’s own calculations put a potential trial loss at as much as $1.4 trillion in penalties, an amount close to its market capitalization. That framing helps explain why the settlement reads as manageable risk removal for Meta Platforms.

Collectively, Meta, Alphabet’s Google, Snap, and TikTok face more than 3,000 personal injury claims from individuals and families and roughly 1,300 lawsuits from public school districts, per Bloomberg. Two other teen cases naming Meta, Google, and Snap remain scheduled for October trials, so Alphabet and Snap keep meaningful docket exposure even after Wednesday’s headline.

Small-Cap Snap Wears the Bigger Proportional Burden Snap stock trades in the low single digits, so small dollar swings translate into outsized percentage moves, which is part of why Snap is the loudest name in the group today. Snap is also by far the smallest company in the cohort, which makes any settlement benchmark set by Meta a heavier proportional burden on its balance sheet.

Meta Platforms is absorbing a much larger nominal figure without materially denting its share price. The mega-cap has the cash flow and revenue base to price in known legal overhangs, book the charge, and move on. The two prints together capture why size and cash generation matter when youth-safety cases move from filing to resolution.

Alphabet sits in the middle of that spectrum on scale, and Google’s inclusion in the remaining October cases keeps it in the same regulatory conversation as Snap. Without a same-day tape reaction for Alphabet stock, however, Wednesday’s asymmetry is fully expressed in the Snap and Meta prints.

Scorecard and What Comes Next Snap stock had rallied 7% in Tuesday’s session before the Pennsylvania headline surfaced, so today’s 8% drop wipes out that pop and pushes the stock back into familiar territory. Meta Platforms stock was down 13% year to date through Tuesday’s close, and the muted reaction to a headline settlement suggests the market had already partially discounted a resolution.

The QQQ ETF’s 0.1% move confirms that Wednesday’s action reads as a single-name story with no sector rotation behind it. Alphabet’s role as a remaining co-defendant is worth tracking, though without a same-day print for Alphabet stock, there’s nothing to score for it today.

Investors can watch for whether Snap files a substantive response to the Pennsylvania complaint in the coming days. Additional state attorneys general could follow Pennsylvania’s lead in the wake of the Meta settlement.

Given Snap’s small balance sheet relative to potential legal exposure, moderating their positions on this name is the more defensive posture until the October trial calendar clarifies. Meta Platforms has bought a large piece of certainty, and holders can size their exposure to the reduced overhang, while Snap stockholders may prefer to keep their risk budget tight.

SNAP Snap
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Snap Inc. (NYSE:SNAP) shares are trading lower Monday morning as Wall Street continues to digest a pivotal ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals alongside heavy insider stock sales. Here’s what investors need to know.

Snap stock is among today’s weakest performers. Why is SNAP stock dropping? Section 230 Defense Rejected in Federal Appeals CourtThe federal appeals court last week rejected tech industry efforts to throw out over 3,000 consolidated lawsuits, ruling that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act acts as an affirmative defense rather than blanket immunity from being sued.

The decision allows thousands of claims alleging Snapchat’s core design features foster youth addiction to proceed directly toward trial.

Executive Insider Selling Amplifies Bearish SentimentCompounding the legal pressure, recent regulatory filings revealed significant executive stock disposals. Chief Technology Officer Robert Murphy sold 4 million Class A shares for approximately $21.6 million under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

Although 10b5-1 plans are scheduled in advance to avoid trading on non-public information, the large insider divestment following second-quarter earnings has heightened market caution and added short-term selling pressure.

Why These Dual Risks Matter to Wall StreetHistorically, Section 230 has served as legal armor, protecting social media platforms from liability associated with third-party user content.However, plaintiffs are targeting proprietary algorithms, notifications and engagement features, which courts increasingly view as product design rather than protected speech.

Without broad pretrial immunity, Snap faces immense financial and operational exposure. Defense costs and potential multi-billion-dollar settlement liabilities could severely impair free cash flow.

More critically, potential court-ordered product modifications could force Snap to alter its core engagement algorithms, directly threatening active user growth, screen time and advertising monetization.

Paired with negative insider selling optics, the prospect of years of protracted litigation creates a multi-faceted overhang that could suppress valuation multiples until greater clarity returns.

SNAP Shares Fall Monday MorningSNAP Price Action: Snap shares were down 3.52% at $5.22 during premarket trading on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Montero Mining narazila na porfyr a pyrit v Elviře
SNAP Snap
FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Montero Mining and Exploration Ltd (TSX-V:MON, OTC:MXTRF) said a new drillhole at its Elvira Gold Project in northern Chile hit strong signs of a gold-bearing hydrothermal system, with pyrite mineralization found at depth.

The hole, MON-ELV-02, was drilled to 625.25 metres and targeted a zone the company flagged as high-priority using geological mapping, geochemistry, geophysics and AI-assisted data modelling.

Logging showed altered volcanic rock near surface sitting on top of an intrusive rock body called a porphyry, the type of formation often associated with large gold and copper deposits. Pyrite, a mineral commonly linked to gold mineralization, showed up repeatedly below about 253 metres, including at the very bottom of the hole. Trace copper minerals were also spotted but need lab confirmation.

Dr. Tony Harwood, President and CEO of Montero, said the logging results back up the company's target model for Elvira.

“The hole intersected the predicted volcanic sequence and underlying porphyry, together with high-sulphidation alteration and pyrite corresponding spatially to the high-chargeability anomaly,” Harwood said in a statement. “Assay results will determine the metal content of the hydrothermal system."

The hole was drilled next to an old well, EL-12, drilled decades earlier by Buena Vista Gold Corp to about 282 metres, where Buena Vista had reported a strong hit. Montero's new hole went more than 340 metres deeper than that old test.

Core samples are now being cut and sent to the lab, with results expected to sharpen the company's next round of drill targets.

Original source text
Snap (SNAP - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.06 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.07 per share. This compares to a loss of $0.01 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -14.29%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company behind Snapchat would post earnings of $0.09 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.1, delivering a surprise of +11.11%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.

Snap, which belongs to the Zacks Internet - Software industry, posted revenues of $1.6 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.31%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.34 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Snap shares have lost about 41.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 9.4%.

What's Next for Snap?While Snap has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Snap was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.17 on $1.7 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.60 on $6.69 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Internet - Software is currently in the bottom 44% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Opendoor Technologies Inc. (OPEN - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 4.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.02 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -100%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 7.1% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.

Opendoor Technologies Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $913.04 million, down 41.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Definitions

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment.

Common shares outstanding plus shares underlying stock-based awards includes common shares outstanding, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and outstanding stock options.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation; and certain other items impacting net income (loss) from time to time.

Constant Currency Revenue is defined as GAAP revenue in the current period translated using the prior period average monthly exchange rates for revenue transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We calculate the Constant Currency Revenue percentage change using current period Constant Currency Revenue and prior period GAAP revenue.

A Daily Active User (DAU) is defined as a registered and logged-in Snapchat user who visits Snapchat through our applications or websites at least once during a defined 24-hour period. We calculate average DAUs for a particular quarter by adding the number of DAUs on each day of that quarter and dividing that sum by the number of days in that quarter.

Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) is defined as quarterly revenue divided by the average DAUs.

A Monthly Active User (MAU) is defined as a registered and logged-in Snapchat user who visits Snapchat through our applications or websites at least once during the 30-day period ending on the calendar month-end. We calculate average Monthly Active Users for a particular quarter by calculating the average of the MAUs as of each calendar month-end in that quarter.

Note: For adjustments and additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures and other items discussed, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and “Supplemental Financial Information and Business Metrics.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, future stock repurchase programs or stock dividends, business strategy and plans, user growth and engagement, product initiatives, objectives of management for future operations, and advertiser and partner offerings, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “going to,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. We caution you that the foregoing may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this press release.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this press release primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends, including our financial outlook, macroeconomic uncertainty, and geo-political events and conflicts, that we believe may continue to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties related to: our financial performance; our ability to attain and sustain profitability; our ability to generate and sustain positive cash flow; our ability to attract and retain users, partners, and advertisers; competition and new market entrants; managing our growth and future expenses; compliance with new laws, regulations, and executive actions; our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property; our ability to succeed in existing and new market segments; our ability to attract and retain qualified team members and key personnel; our ability to repay or refinance outstanding debt, or to access additional financing; future acquisitions, divestitures, or investments; and the potential adverse impact of climate change, natural disasters, health epidemics, macroeconomic conditions, and war or other armed conflict, as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent periodic report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made available in our periodic report that will be filed with the SEC for the period covered by this press release and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, including future developments related to geo-political events and conflicts and macroeconomic conditions, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in our business and is a key financial indicator used by management. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss), excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation; and certain other items impacting net income (loss) from time to time. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Constant Currency Revenue, which is defined as GAAP revenue in the current period translated using the prior period average monthly exchange rates for revenue transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We calculate the Constant Currency Revenue percentage change using current period Constant Currency Revenue and prior period GAAP revenue. We report revenue on a constant-currency basis in order to facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates, which we believe is helpful to investors. However, Constant Currency Revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure, may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and is not meant to be considered as an alternative or substitute for comparable measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Original source text
Snap reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings for the second quarter and issued a forecast for the current period that topped analysts' estimates. The stock jumped about 8% in extended trading.

Here's how the company did compared with analysts' expectations:

Loss per share: Loss of 10 cents. That figure is not comparable to analysts' estimates.Revenue: $1.6 billion vs. $1.54 billion expected, according to LSEGGlobal daily active users: 493 million vs. 487 million expected, according to StreetAccountGlobal average revenue per user, or ARPU: $3.25 vs. $3.16 expected, according to StreetAccountRevenue in the second quarter rose 19% from $1.34 billion a year earlier, Snap said in a statement. The company's net loss narrowed to $164 million from $262.6 million, or 16 cents per share, a year ago.

Adjusted earnings came in at $250 million, ahead of the $192 million estimate, according to StreetAccount.

Snap said third-quarter sales should come in between $1.7 billion to $1.74 billion, topping analyst estimates of $1.7 billion. Adjusted earnings will be between $300 million and $350 million. The midpoint of $325 million trails StreetAccount's projections of $327 million.

Snap CEO Evan Spiegel said in an investor letter that the company "saw improving momentum in our advertising business."

"After several quarters of improving our ad products and go-to-market approach, we saw better momentum with large advertisers in North America and stronger revenue growth internationally," he said in the letter. Spiegel added the company got a boost from spending tied to the World Cup.

During its last earnings report in May, Snap said "large advertisers in North America remained a headwind to advertising growth," but that it was "beginning to see encouraging signs that this part of the business is improving."

While the number of global daily active users increased 5% from a year earlier, North American DAU declined 7% year over year to 92 million and was flat compared with the first quarter.

On the earnings call, Spiegel cited "progress in strengthening the core communication experience" and newer products like its Spotlight short-video feature as helping with user growth.

Spiegel added that Snap is "closely monitoring the regulatory environment, including age assurance, privacy, and online safety requirements," which he said "may affect the product experiences or user growth and engagement over time."

Snap lifted its guidance for full-year infrastructure costs by $50 million to between $1.65 billion and $1.7 billion. The company said that figure accounts for "additional investment in the AI and machine learning infrastructure needed to support revenue growth."

The company's other revenue category, which includes the Snapchat+ subscription service, rose 85% year over year to $316 million in the second quarter.

Snap revealed in June its first augmented reality glasses tailored for the broader public instead of developers. The AR glasses, dubbed Specs, will cost $2,195 with a $200 refundable deposit and are expected to ship later this year.

Spiegel said on the call that with Specs, Snap is "really approaching this investment with a lot of discipline," and is currently focusing on "the customer experience, the product quality and the ecosystem development." He said he sees cutting-edge AR glasses as "a natural form factor for the future," but acknowledged that it's going to take a while before they become mainstream.

"I think it will be towards the end of the decade before we see mass-market consumer adoption," Spiegel said. "I think things, for example, like weight and cost are going to have to come down to see unit volumes really meaningfully pick up."

Wall Street was tough on Snap's fellow online ad companies last week.

Reddit reported second-quarter earnings on Thursday that beat on the top and bottom lines, but noted in an investor letter that search-referral traffic was "choppy," stroking Wall Street's concerns about user growth and sending shares tumbling.

And Meta shares dropped after the social media giant issued a weaker-than-expected sales forecast and reported dwindling free cash flow due to its hefty spending on AI-related expenditures.

WATCH: Meta's stock pullback is justified.

FMP Stock News 78
Original source text
Snap CEO Evan Spiegel sidestepped investors’ questions about pre-order demand for the company’s long-awaited Specs smart glasses during Monday’s earnings call, just weeks before the device’s September launch event.

“What we’re hearing from folks is really that they want to try Specs,” Spiegel told investors. “It’s obviously a high consideration purchase at $2,195. Obviously, developers and folks who are familiar with the platform really understand it and understand the technical leaps we’ve made with with this generation. I think for the broader public and consumers, it’s going to be really important for folks to go hands-on. Our upcoming launch event will be an important sort of starting point for that consumer-oriented journey.”

The company unveiled Specs in June after spending more than a decade developing the device. The wearable’s $2,195 price tag is significantly higher than most Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, which start at around $350, but lower than Apple’s Vision Pro, which starts at $3,500.

Investors also pressed Spiegel on why he believes Snap’s strategy is financially viable for a company of its size, why it chose to go it alone rather than partner with another company, and what gives him confidence that the company can compete with Apple, Meta, and Alphabet.

Spiegel responded that Snap believes the long-term opportunity to develop the next computing platform is “enormous.”

“I think what what some folks maybe don’t understand yet, especially because Specs are so new and we’re really the first mover in this this category, is how difficult the product is to to execute from a technical perspective,” Spiegel said. “When we started innovating in the social space, we were a late entrant. So, most of the the apps at the time, whether it was Facebook or Instagram or Twitter, were already in existence, and we had to really innovate to continue to grow. What’s so unique about this opportunity for us is really that we’re a first mover, and that really plays to our strengths as an innovator.”

When asked about product-market fit, Spiegel said it will likely be closer to the end of the decade before the company sees mass-market consumer adoption.

“I think things, for example, like weight and cost are going to have to come down to see you know unit volumes really meaningfully pick up.” But we do have, I think, a real advantage here in that developers have been building on the Specs platform now for several years.”

Key Takeaways SNAP reports Q2 results on Aug. 3, with revenues expected at $1.52B-$1.55B and consensus at $1.53B.SNAP faces Middle East disruption, restructuring charges and no Q2 revenues from the Perplexity partnership.Snap sees ad and Snapchat growth, while AI ad tools and newer formats aim to support monetization. Snap (SNAP - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2026 results on Aug. 3.

Snap expects second-quarter 2026 revenues to be in the range of $1.52-$1.55 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $1.53 billion, indicating a 13.97% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

The consensus mark for the bottom line has remained steady at 7 cents per share in the past 30 days.

Snap’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice in the trailing four quarters, while matching once and missing once, with an average negative surprise of 42.22%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors to NoteThe company expects adjusted EBITDA of $175 million to $200 million, an acceleration management attributed largely to North American advertising strength and a roughly 10% year-over-year rise in upfront ad commitments. Yet that same guidance embedded a full quarter of geopolitical disruption in the Middle East, a region that already dented March revenues by $20 million to $25 million, with no expectation of easing during the quarter.

Compounding the top-line pressure, the company confirmed the amicable end of its Perplexity partnership, meaning the second quarter carried zero contribution from that revenue source for the first time.

Management also flagged that total eCPMs remained under strain as ad inventory continued shifting toward newer, still-maturing surfaces like Spotlight and Sponsored Snaps, a mix shift that management itself acknowledged was margin-dilutive during its demand-building phase.

On profitability, the quarter absorbed the bulk of restructuring charges tied to April's workforce actions, guided at $95 million to $130 million, positioned by management as a direct headwind to net income even as the company pursued more than $500 million in annualized cost reduction for the back half of the year. Meanwhile, the commercial unveiling of Specs in June, priced at $2,195, thrust a capital-intensive hardware bet into the spotlight just as investor patience over the unit's cumulative spend appeared to be thinning, raising questions about near-term monetization versus long-term AR ambitions. The launch drew visible investor unease, with shares retreating in the sessions that followed.

Evolving regulatory scrutiny around age assurance, data privacy and advertising practices added another layer of uncertainty, with management cautioning that compliance costs could rise and engagement could be affected, though the timing and magnitude remained unclear heading into the print.

Despite the headwinds, direct-response advertising and Snapchat+ subscription growth remained ongoing contributors to revenue diversification, an area management has repeatedly flagged as a structural offset to platform-specific volatility. Newer ad surfaces such as Sponsored Snaps and Spotlight, while still margin-dilutive, were also expected to add incremental inventory and impressions as they scaled further into demand-building. Additionally, the June rollout of a broader suite of AI-powered capabilities across the ads stack was positioned by the company as a lever to improve ad relevance and advertiser return, a factor management suggested could support monetization even as macro and geopolitical crosscurrents persisted.

Between lingering geopolitical drag, restructuring-related net income pressure, a costly and unproven hardware push, and regulatory overhang, the balance of company-disclosed factors tilted toward caution. Until execution translates guidance into consistent, sustainable earnings, investors may find it prudent to stay on the sidelines ahead of the print.

Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) is expected to remain under pressure to demonstrate stronger advertising revenue growth when it reports second-quarter earnings, with Jefferies saying the company's ads business continues to be the key issue despite expectations for improving overall revenue growth.

The brokerage reiterated its ‘Buy’ rating on Snap while lowering its price target to $5.50 from $8, writing that although it remains positive on the company's engagement scale and long-term monetization opportunity, "the core issue remains ad rev growth, which has yet to show meaningful improvement."

Snap shares traded hands at about $4.40 on Thursday afternoon, down about 45% so far this year.

Jefferies expects Snap to report Q2 revenue growth of 14% year over year, in line with Wall Street estimates. The analysts wrote that advertising revenue should reaccelerate from 3% growth in the first quarter, helped by an easier year-over-year comparison and guidance that had already incorporated a full quarter of Middle East-related headwinds.

The firm said revenue from Snap+ subscriptions and Memories products remains more difficult to forecast because of limited visibility, though it remains constructive on the recent momentum in those businesses.

For the third quarter, Jefferies wrote that the Street's forecast for 13% year-over-year revenue growth appears achievable, with potential upside from World Cup-related advertising spending and Memories Storage. The analysts noted that consensus implies quarter-over-quarter revenue growth consistent with seasonal trends over the past three years, while the expiration of the 12-month Memories Storage grace period in September could provide an additional boost.

Jefferies also identified daily active user growth as a swing factor, citing age verification requirements and other regulatory changes. While the firm sees limited revenue risk from those changes, it noted they could weigh on investor sentiment if engagement growth slows further.

On profitability, Jefferies expects Snap to reiterate its full-year cost guidance following its April restructuring, including operating expenses of about $2.75 billion, other cost of goods sold at 16% to 17% of revenue, and infrastructure costs of $1.6 billion to $1.65 billion.

While Jefferies remains constructive on Snap's longer-term monetization opportunity, it wrote that continued investment in Specs following a weak initial reception, along with the collapse of a partnership with Perplexity, has tempered expectations, leaving the company's advertising growth as the primary focus heading into earnings.

Eyes on the Prize: Smart glasses introduces a category moving quickly from experiment to serious consumer market, as Snap, Meta and Google compete to define what comes next.

After a decade of experiments, the smart glasses category is moving from curiosity to contest

In early formats, hardware was awkward, the battery life short, the social use case fuzzy, and the public memory still haunted by Google Glass.

This week, Snap has launched its first consumer AR glasses, Specs, at $2,195, moving the company out of its long developer-incubation phase and into a much more exposed commercial race with Meta and Google.

That price tells you almost everything about where the market is now. These are not mass-market sunglasses with a clever camera hidden in the hinge. Snap is selling a standalone spatial computer for the face, with a 51-degree field of view, dual Snapdragon chips, hand tracking, four hours of battery life, and up to 20 hours with the charging case. In other words, it is not trying to beat Meta’s Ray-Bans on wearability. It is trying to argue that the next important screen may not be a phone screen at all.

View of the MarketplaceFor now, Meta is the clear volume leader. Industry estimates put the company at roughly 70% of the smart-glasses market, with 3.5 million Meta Ray-Ban units shipped.

Behind it sit Xiaomi at 8.5% and Huawei at 2.7%. The distinction, though, is not merely about brand strength, but product philosophy. Meta has won early by making smart glasses look and feel close enough to ordinary eyewear that people will actually wear them all day.

MORE FOR YOU

That matters because wear time is still the category’s unresolved truth. The vast majority of shipments, around 91%, by one 2026 forecast, are still audio-first smart glasses, not display-heavy AR devices. Lighter frames, familiar silhouettes and easier daily use continue to beat technical ambition when the product sits on the face rather than on a desk. That is why Snap’s new Specs, at 132 grams, are being positioned for shorter, more immersive sessions rather than all-day wear.

Double vision Snap Specs product image Snap’s new Specs, priced at $2,195, are designed less as everyday eyewear and more as a standalone spatial computer - a sign the smart-glasses market has reached a genuine inflection point.

SNAP

The more interesting number is not market share but growth. One 2026 industry forecast expects AI smart-glasses shipments to rise 85% year over year, passing 15 million units worldwide. Another projects an even larger jump, from 6 million units in 2025 to 20 million in 2026. Forecasts vary, but the direction is the same: the category is no longer being treated as a novelty side-show. It is beginning to look like a genuine hardware frontier.

That does not mean the market has settled. In fact, the opposite. What is emerging now is a split between two distinct design languages.

One is the ambient AI companion: glasses that look normal, sound useful, and let you ask questions, take calls, listen to music, translate signs or capture moments without ever introducing a visible display. Meta’s Ray-Bans sit squarely here.

The other is the standalone spatial computer: devices that project digital graphics into the real world and ask the wearer to do more than listen. Snap’s Specs belong to that camp, which is much more ambitious and, for now, much harder to normalise. Yet it seems Snap has spent enough money to make this a serious test

News reporting highlights the company has now spent more than $3.5 billion on its AR glasses ambitions, after more than a decade of development, and had already reorganised the unit into a standalone subsidiary earlier this year. That sort of spend changes the tone. A prototype can afford to be charming. A multibillion-dollar bet cannot.

The pressure is softened only slightly by the rest of the business looking steadier. In Q1 2026, Snap reported $1.529 billion in revenue, up 12% year over year, while its “Other Revenue” segment, driven by subscriptions such as Snapchat+ and Lens+ rose 87% to $285 million. Clearly it is not funding Specs from a collapsing core. It has a platform business that is stabilising while the hardware story gets more expensive.

Are Snap then late to commercial smart glasses opportunity? That is true in one sense and slightly misleading in another. Snap has been working on this for years, and the company enters the consumer phase with a substantial AR ecosystem already in place. It has spent the past decade cultivating developers, creators and brands around augmented reality, and has repeatedly argued that its advantage lies not only in hardware but in the software and experiences layered on top. Snap said this week that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for Specs, after a year and a half of 10 Snap OS updates and more than 40 new features and APIs.

That is a smaller claim than the broader, often-cited figure of 400,000 developers building 4 million AR lenses across Snap’s wider platform, but it is the more commercially relevant one right now. Consumer hardware does not succeed on technical merit alone. It succeeds when people can immediately understand what it is for.

Wearability v. Tech ability That is where the category still feels unresolved. Earlier generations of smart glasses struggled badly with retention. Even Snap’s older Spectacles models were a reminder that novelty is not the same thing as habit. The industry has improved on battery life, display quality and AI use cases, but face-worn hardware remains more intimate, and therefore more demanding, than almost any other category in consumer tech.

Meta has answered that problem by making the glasses as close to normal eyewear as possible. Snap is answering it by betting that there are moments when people will accept a heavier device because the experience is strong enough: a 3D game hovering above a table, navigation layered onto the street, live visual coaching, spatial collaboration. The question is whether those moments are frequent enough to sustain a category beyond enthusiasts.

Meta’s Long Distance ViewMeta’s advantage is not simply that it moved first. It is that it understood the category’s central tension sooner than most of its rivals: people may be curious about smart glasses, but they still need to want to wear them. That is why the Ray-Ban partnership matters so much. By placing the technology inside frames people already recognise, Meta turned a futuristic hardware problem into a familiarity play.

Recent reporting shows Meta accounted for 76.1% of global smart-glasses shipments in 2025, while Ray-Ban Meta and related models have already reached the multimillion-unit mark, giving the company a lead built less on technical spectacle than on social acceptability. Snap is betting on the next screen. Meta is betting that the first battle is still the face.

What Next?For years, smart glasses were discussed as though one device would eventually win. The more plausible outcome is that the market becomes layered.

Audio-first glasses may become the everyday companion: lighter, cheaper, more wearable, closer in spirit to earbuds with a frame.

AR-first glasses may become the higher-value device: more immersive, less constant, used for gaming, shopping, navigation, work, sport and certain forms of entertainment.

That is what makes Snap’s launch this week significant, even if the product itself remains niche at first. It signals that the category has reached the stage where companies are no longer simply testing whether people might want smart glasses. They are beginning to define what kind of smart glasses people may want.

And that is usually the point at which a technology stops being experimental and starts becoming a market.
