Snap Shares Under Pressure as​ Profitability Concerns Mount

Los Angeles, CA​ – November 21, 2023 – Snap Inc.shares are facing renewed scrutiny following its latest earnings report, despite exceeding revenue expectations in ‌the third quarter. While daily active users continue to climb, a considerable quarterly loss ‌and lingering doubts about the path to profitability are⁤ fueling‍ investor caution and prompting analysts to maintain a largely neutral stance on the stock. The company’s key executives’ recent seriousness has also⁢ raised questions among investors, leading some to wonder if management foresees challenges​ not yet reflected in market valuations.

snap reported Q3 revenue of $1.51⁢ billion, surpassing expectations, and boasts 477 million daily active users – a sign of continued growth.However,the company recorded a quarterly loss of $103.54 ‍million. Despite holding $3.0 billion in cash ⁤reserves,the core concern remains Snap’s ability to achieve sustainable profitability amidst fierce competition from industry giants Meta and Alphabet. This challenge is especially⁢ acute as investors weigh⁢ the implications of‍ a recent shift in tone from Snap’s​ leadership team, sparking speculation about⁤ potential headwinds.

Analysts are divided, with Piper Sandler, Truist Securities, and Cantor Fitzgerald raising their price targets to $10, $11, and $9 respectively. Nevertheless,the ⁢prevailing “hold” ⁢recommendations and⁣ a consensus ‍price target in the $9-$10⁢ range indicate limited anticipated upside. Snap’s Q4 forecast of $280-310 million in adjusted EBITDA demonstrates progress in cost control, ‍but its sufficiency to secure long-term viability remains uncertain.

Technically, the stock is exhibiting weakness, retreating from a 52-week high⁣ of $13.28 ⁢and struggling to maintain stability. Today’s trading saw the stock fall below its opening price, reflecting ongoing market nervousness. investors⁤ are now closely watching for‍ further signals regarding Snap’s ⁣ability to translate user ‌growth into consistent profits.⁤

Marin Software Shareholders Face Total⁣ Loss After Bankruptcy Completion

SAN FRANCISCO,CA -⁢ September 6,2025 ⁣- Marin Software’s⁢ bankruptcy process concluded September 5,2025,resulting⁢ in the ⁤complete ‍loss of investment ⁤for existing shareholders. The digital advertising software‌ company,‍ once valued at over $425 million during its 2013 IPO,‌ succumbed to mounting losses​ and competition from tech giants like Google and Meta.

The company initially warned of potential Nasdaq delisting on June 17, 2025, and afterward filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 1, 2025, seeking to sell ⁤assets and settle debts. Despite a late-stage attempt to pivot to‍ an ‌”AI-first” strategy⁢ with Zax Capital, ‍Marin Software consistently ⁣recorded losses since 2016 ⁣and ‍failed ​to achieve⁢ profitability.

As a outcome of the bankruptcy, ⁤all common shares have been canceled,⁣ preferred shares and stock options have expired, and payments to‍ shareholders ‍will only​ be considered ‌after⁤ all creditor claims are satisfied. Ownership⁣ of the restructured company now resides with ‌Kaxxa ⁢Holdings and YYYYY, LLC. Marin Software’s 12-year run as a ​publicly traded⁤ company is ending with deregistration with the SEC,‌ leaving former investors with worthless securities.

Riot Platforms: Piper Sandler Sees Potential in Data Center Shift, Maintains Neutral Rating

Minneapolis (www.aktiencheck.de) – Piper Sandler analysts have revised their price ⁢target for Riot‍ Platforms Inc.(ISIN: US7672921050, WKN: A2H51D, ticker symbol: AP4N, NASDAQ symbol:‌ RIOT)‍ upwards, increasing it from $18 to $25 while maintaining a “neutral” rating. The adjustment reflects potential opportunities stemming from a possible strategic shift for the company.

The analysis, dated October 20, 2025, centers‍ on ​the potential for Riot Platforms​ to ⁤leverage its⁢ existing ‌infrastructure for ​high-performance data centers, specifically targeting the growing demands of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC).Piper Sandler highlights the company’s locations in Corsicana (near Dallas, Texas) and Rockdale ‌(near Austin, Texas)⁤ as particularly attractive to potential tenants. ⁣These sites offer ‍substantial electricity capacity and proximity⁤ to major metropolitan areas – key advantages for data center operations.

While acknowledging a recent period of relative quiet ‍in the AI and HPC sectors,⁣ Piper Sandler suggests⁣ Riot Platforms may be engaged in discussions with multiple “hyperscalers” regarding a transition from Bitcoin ‌mining to data center services at these locations.

The analysts believe a successful‍ realignment could ⁤unlock growth for Riot‍ Platforms, though they caution that concrete‌ contracts are necessary to realize ​this potential. The $25 price⁤ target reflects ⁢this conditional ‍optimism.
