"Snap Inc closed at $7.71, down 8.21%. Trading spiked to about 260 million shares, roughly 3.4 times its three-month average of 77.46 million, as investors reacted to another cautious analyst view on the ad business. Indexes finished higher. The S&P 500 rose 0.41% to 6,688.46, and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.30% to 22,660.01, even as social media lagged."
"Among social peers, Meta Platforms Inc fell 1.21% to $734.38, while Reddit Inc declined 4.95% to $229.99. Today's move followed Mizuho's Neutral rating and $9 price target, which flagged weak feedback from advertising channels. That stance joins a growing list of Neutral ratings across the sell side in recent weeks, keeping attention on whether ad trends can stabilize and improve."
Snap closed at $7.71, down 8.21%, as trading surged to about 260 million shares, roughly 3.4 times its three-month average. The spike followed another cautious analyst view on the advertising business and a Mizuho Neutral rating with a $9 price target that cited weak feedback from advertising channels. Broader indexes rose, with the S&P 500 up 0.41% and the Nasdaq up 0.30%, while social media names underperformed. Peer moves included declines for Meta and Reddit. Soft ad revenue and competitive pressure in social advertising continue to cloud near-term visibility and help explain the outsized volume and underperformance.
