What's Going On With Snap Stock Today?
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) shares experienced volatility, initially rising in premarket trading after Congress passed a bill to potentially ban or force a sale of TikTok, which could benefit Snap by reducing competition. However, shares turned negative after the market opened. The bill, part of an aid package, is expected to be signed by President Biden, giving TikTok's parent company ByteDance nine months to divest. Additionally, Snap's upcoming earnings report is contributing to its stock volatility, with analysts expecting a loss of 5 cents per share on revenue of $1.119 billion.
