The brief

Snap runs Snapchat, an app where people share photos and short videos that disappear after viewing. The company makes money primarily from selling ads within the app, including augmented reality (AR) ads and sponsored content. Snap also sells subscription services like Snapchat+ (premium features) and AR hardware called Spectacles.

Snap Inc operates Snapchat, a visual messaging app with 5,381 employees, generating $5.9B in annual revenue [Yahoo Finance]. The company recently beat Q1 earnings expectations with narrowing losses and 12% revenue growth driven by subscription revenue (Snapchat+) and improved engagement [Yahoo Finance]. However, the stock has collapsed 32% year-to-date and faces ongoing legal battles over youth mental health impacts [Simply Wall St].

Snap is growing revenue modestly but remains unprofitable with negative operating margins despite improving efficiency.
