More Drama from Snap Snap has earned a reputation for dramatic
earnings. Three months ago, shares of the Snapchat parent fell 39% the day
after the company reported results. Two quarters before that the stock soared
59%. Out of Snap's last 20 earnings reports, the stock has moved at least 10%
on 13 occasions, according to data from FactSet. The fireworks continued tonight after Snap
reported a third-quarter loss of $360 million on a revenue gain of just 6%.
That's a sharp slowdown for Snap, which until this summer was regularly
growing quarterly revenue by 40% or more. More troubling is that the company
said revenue would be roughly flat in the fourth quarter. Shares tumbled 25%
in after hours trading. Other social media stocks were falling on
the news, as well. Facebook parent Meta Platforms was down 4%,
while Pinterest was off 7%. Meta is scheduled to report next Wednesday,
with Pinterest earnings set for Thursday. Their reports will be part of a
banner week of tech earnings. Connor Smith has more on Snap's results here. |
