I couldn't help but to buy some SNAP shares and calls last week at all-time lows. They just hit 1 bil monthly users, have talked extensively about unlocking more rev per user, just turned a profit, and are spinning Specs into a standalone unit. While I believe that Specs will go the way of the Metaverse and fail, they're basically a no-cost call on even slight success and I think 2026 is the year they move from a "spend at all costs" mindset to actually caring about shareholder value. Evan (CEO) takes a $1 salary and while he's sold 80m shares since IPO, he still has over a hundred million shares, so it's in his best interest to get profitable. This just feels to me like a Meta at 90 scenario. Also, before you call me names, you idiots flamed me for full-porting into INTC and look how that's turned out.

CEO is a moron and has absolute voting power.
You are just being used as a money grab with their dilution. Snap isn’t special, it’s a dying company.
Bro Snap is used mainly by kids and teens, even if they want to make money from them they can’t
Lmfao 1 bil monthly users that’s fuckin classic
2 year leaps, you’ll definitely make money on this. Snap can’t stay this low for two years.
Social media companies arent undervalued – depending on your take on regulatory risks over protecting – especially children – from brainrot is actually substantial. Should they really be valued at the multiple they are?
Whether you agree on my take above, imagine why Zuck is spending so much on regarded AI capex, while being a facebook company. If you imagike the high possibility that humanity might actually eventually do something about digital drugs at leadt to protect children, it makes sense.
But yea, snap with their meta glasses and moron ceo is a tough bet – thats why it might work (or not)
Are you the guy who piled 700k into INTC about a year and a half ago?!
Whats their rpu? How is going to scale with demographic and target user base that notoriously does not have any disposable income? How the fuck do they make money in a recessionary env?
You got like a billion old people and a billion under 10. That leaves 5 billion people that are even possibly using snap. Minus another billion since China has never heard of it.
You think 1/4 of all other people use snap? You gotta be kidding me
I am not sure the true value of snap because the CEO has not presented a clear roadmap of his intentions. However, at the current price it is undervalued. Cash on the Bal Sheet is $1.70 per share. Approximately 33% of its mkt value is cash on the balance sheet. That is high. Not recommending it but pointing out the obvious.
I’m afraid snapchat is dead my friend…
I’m always surprised when someone brings up Snapchat, stopped using that shit a lifetime ago. Now you’re telling me 1 billion users a month?!
How much you think they gonna be in 6 months?
About an hour ago Morgan Stanley downgraded their price target from $9.5 to $6.5.
