Snap Got Crushed By Growth Concerns
Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
Snap Inc. (SNAP) stock plummeted nearly a third after Q4 results missed Wall Street expectations and announced a 10% workforce reduction. Despite solid user growth, Snap's revenue per user fell, contrasting with the online ad market recovery seen by Meta Platforms (META), Alphabet (GOOG), and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), who reported significant ad revenue growth. Pinterest (PINS) also faced monetization challenges, seeking partnerships with Google and Amazon for improvement. Snap aims to focus on growing its user base and engagement in monetizable markets.
