What are Wall Street analysts saying about Snap stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Snap stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Snap is currently hurt by decelerating growth in advertising revenues and user base. The company’s growth opportunities could be dampened because of slowing growth in its user base as advertisers will no longer be attracted to the platform. Competition from Facebook is a major threat to the company. Lack of revenue diversification is a concern for the company. Shares of Snap have underperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis. The company has mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. However, the company is expected to benefit from the growing popularity among teenagers. Launch of innovative features is anticipated to keep the interest of users alive." (7/3/2018)
- 2. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "Wells Fargo Securities, LLC’s research analysts receive compensation that is based upon and impacted by the overall profitability and revenue of the firm, which includes, but is not limited to investment banking revenue." (5/7/2018)
- 3. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We see the advertiser expansion as an important source of revenue diversification and reflects Snap’s capacity to grow revenue through a broadening of its addressable market. On the other hand, we can infer this result at least partially reflects some degree of deceleration in spending from large brands, which generally view Snap as a niche platform rather than something core to their typical campaigns. However, comments indicating that “of the Top 100 Ad Age Advertisers that started advertising with (Snap) in Q1 of 2016 or earlier, each one of them, at a parent level, also spent with (Snap) in 2017 and over 90 percent of them spent in every quarter of 2017.” Although it does not convey the growth rate of like-for-like advertisers, we think it does reflect a degree of durability for the platform among brands who use it." (2/8/2018)
- 4. Aegis analysts commented, "We suspect that Snap was a beneficiary of ad dollars that could not make its way onto Facebook/Instagram due either to pricing or tight inventory. That may not recur in non-seasonal quarters. The silver lining for the future is that in tests of the app redesign, Snap saw increased ARPU, time spent, and engagement. Remains to be seen whether that applies all over. We remain at Hold but increased our price target to $18 from $13 on higher estimates. Salient Points: (1) gross margin increased 1,400bps QoQ to 36% and cash burn decreased 49% QoQ; (2) the retention rate of new Android users increased by ~20%; (3) over 90% of Snap Ads were bought programmatically, up from 10% in 4Q16, and 80% in 3Q17; (4) Snap Ad pricing decreased 15% QoQ and 70% YoY; (5) Snap Ad impressions grew 90% QoQ and 575% YoY; (6) each week, half of the U.S." (2/8/2018)
