Snap Inc.: Repaired Cash, Unproven Ad Rerating
Snap Inc. operates Snapchat, a camera-first close-friends communication network of 483 million daily active users monetized mainly through advertising, with a fast-growing Snapchat+ subscription leg and an expensive consumer-AR bet in Specs. The central tension is that Q1 2026 revenue rose 12% to about $1.53 billion while core advertising grew only 3% to roughly $1.24 billion and other revenue jumped 87% to about $285 million, even as North American daily users slipped from 94 million to 92 million and founders keep over 99% of voting power. Rating Watch: cash conversion and subscriptions are improving, but core ad growth is still too weak to justify a full rerating.
