During Meta's antitrust trial this week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that Snapchat would have grown faster if it accepted his company's offer to buy the social network back in 2013, Business Insider reports.
The latest trading day saw Snap (SNAP) settling at $7.96, representing a +1.66% change from its previous close.
Snap makes continuous innovations in its advertising strategy, and its recent launch of an AI ad format presents a buy opportunity for investors in 2025.
SNAP is trading near a strong historical support level. I believe the narrative and recent growth surrounding this stock could lead to a turnaround this year. I'm projecting continued growth in direct response ads, especially from SMBs, fueled by better ad tools and a simplified experience. That said, I'd keep a close eye on the regulatory framework in the U.S. and Australia, which could slow growth in youth-driven ad verticals.
Snap Inc.'s stock is down 22% YTD, trading sideways due to a lack of near-term catalysts and elevated investment costs over the past two years. The company's DAU growth has stabilized and is expected to rise 8.7% YoY in 1Q FY2025, driven by growing traction in Snapchat+ and enhanced AR and AI features. High infrastructure costs in FY2025 continues to pressure margins, but these investments should drive stronger engagement and boost ARPU, accelerating GAAP profitability.
The recent stock market sell-off is dragging down many corporations, including Snap (SNAP 1.14%), a social media specialist. Though the company ended 2024 with strong momentum, its shares have declined by 18% since January.
Snap (SNAP) closed the most recent trading day at $9.33, moving +1.08% from the previous trading session.
Snap advances in AR and benefits from advertising revenue growth, but competition and regional pressures suggest investors should wait for better entry points in 2025.
Snap's shift to a subscription model, including the new Platinum service, aims to boost revenue per subscription. The social media company has the potential to exit 2025 with $1+ billion in recurring subscription revenues. The stock is undervalued compared to other media firms with subscription revenues like Netflix and Spotify.
Snap Inc. is undervalued at $9 per share, with a potential 20% upside from my base case price target, making it a buy for risk-tolerant investors. The stock has been range-bound, typically finding support around $8 and resistance around $12, presenting a favorable risk-reward scenario. Key concerns include user retention as the current demographic ages and challenges in monetizing the platform amid stiff competition from giants like META and GOOGL.
In the most recent trading session, Snap (SNAP) closed at $9.60, indicating a -1.74% shift from the previous trading day.
