Snap

Snap is a technology company best known for its marquis social media application Snapchat, a visual messaging application that has amassed hundreds of millions of users. The app was initially only used to communicate with family and friends through photographs and short videos (known as "Snaps"). Users can now enjoy augmented reality, or AR, lenses, content from famous creators and celebrities, updates about local events, and more. Although the app offers a paid subscription option with premium features, advertising sales produce most of the app's revenue. The firm also sells wearable devices called AR Spectacles, which can capture photos and videos overlayed with AR lenses, but these make up a small portion of Snap's overall sales.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Snap's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Snap's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.86%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

On Wednesday, in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44780047/mark-zuckerbergs-empire-in-jeopardy-as-meta-faces-antitrust-battle-in-court">ongoing antitrust trial</a> against Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), former COO Sheryl Sandberg testified about the company's efforts to block advertisements from potential competitors like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Plus, KakaoTalk, and LINE.
What Happened: During the trial, Sandberg addressed internal communications from 2011 and 2012 that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) claims show Meta's efforts to block competitors from advertising on its platform, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/04/16/meta-sheryl-sandberg-ftc/">reported</a> the Washington Post.
The FTC's lawyer, Susan Musser, questioned Sandberg about an email she sent to staff after Google launched Google Plus, in which she acknowledged that the new platform was Meta&#8217;s &#8220;real competition.&#8221;

Sandberg explained that her comments were intended to "rally the troops" in response to a much larger tech company launching a product strikingly similar to Facebook.
When questioned by Meta's lawyers, she added that she believed Meta faced other competitors both then and now, naming platforms like YouTube, Pinterest (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PINS#NYSE">PINS</a>), and eventually TikTok.
Earlier in the day, Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44807557/mark-zuckerberg-proposed-wiping-all-friends-connections-and-make-users-start-again-to-keep-facebook-culturally-relevant-antitrust-trial-reveals">returned to the witness stand</a> for the third time in as many days. He admitted that Meta's short-form video feature, Reels, is "pretty good," but quickly pointed out that TikTok still outpaces both Facebook and Instagram combined.

Why It&#8217;s Important: The trial also revealed confidential conversations between Sandberg and Zuckerberg during their deliberations over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38163559/if-you-invested-1000-in-meta-platforms-when-mark-zuckerberg-acquired-instagram-for-1b-in-2012-he">$1 billion purchase of Instagram</a>.
In a text message from spring 2012, Zuckerberg asked Sandberg if she believed the price was excessive, to which she replied, &#8220;Yes.&#8221;
When questioned by a Meta attorney about whether she still held that view, Sandberg said, "I think I was wrong. I think I was very wrong."
The FTC&#8217;s case against Meta is rooted in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44821791/meta-platforms-used-buy-or-bury-strategy-to-monopolize-social-media-ftc-says">allegations of a &#8220;buy or bury&#8221; strategy</a>.&nbsp;
The trial also revisited Meta&#8217;s past acquisition attempts, such as the $6 billion offer to acquire Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44832468/snapchat-rejection-resurfaces-as-mark-zuckerberg-defends-meta-in-ftc-trial-and-the-tech-mogul-still-thinks-he-couldve-done-it-better-we-would-have-accelerated-their-growth">which Zuckerberg defended</a>.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Meta shares dropped 3.68%, ending the trading day at $502.31, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
The company currently holds a momentum score of 55.37% and a growth score of 74.89%, based on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META">Benzinga's exclusive Edge Rankings</a>.

Sheryl Sandberg Testimony In Meta Antitrust Trial Touches On Efforts To Stifle Ads From Google Plus, KakaoTalk — Mark Zuckerberg Says TikTok Bigger Than Facebook, Instagram Combined

More than a decade after Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) turned down a multibillion-dollar buyout from Facebook, the failed deal is back in the spotlight as Mark Zuckerberg testifies in Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44805013/mark-zuckerberg-takes-the-stand-as-landmark-antitrust-trial-threatens-to-break-up-metas-137-trillion-empire-trial-will-show-what-every-17-year-old-in-the-world-knows-says-spokesperson">high-stakes antitrust trial</a>.
What Happened: On Tuesday, during his second day on the witness stand, Zuckerberg addressed a 2013 email in which he offered $6 billion to acquire Snapchat—double the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/13/11/4077625/facebooks-3-billion-offer-rejected-by-snapchat">$3 billion previously reported</a>, according to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-meta-antitrust-trial-snapchat-buyout-bid-2025-4">a</a> report by Business Insider.
"I delivered the offer to Evan and he seemed to take it well," Zuckerberg wrote in the email, referencing Snap CEO Evan Spiegel. "He told me he thought he could get it done and that he'd call me back quickly."
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43557821/evan-spiegel-takes-a-shot-at-mark-zuckerberg-over-meta-copying-snapchats-features-on-instagram-and-facebook">deal never materialized</a>. Zuckerberg told the court he believed Snapchat "wasn't growing at the potential that it could" and added, "If we would have bought them, we would have accelerated their growth, but that's just speculation."
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44778760/netflix-debuts-openai-backed-search-engine-that-lets-you-discover-movies-and-tv-shows-based-on-emotions-not-just-titles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netflix Debuts OpenAI-Backed Search Engine That Lets You Discover Movies And TV Shows Based On Emotions, Not Just Titles</a>
The Federal Trade Commission introduced the email as part of its argument that Meta pursued acquisitions like Instagram and WhatsApp to eliminate competition and maintain dominance in the social media space.
Snap spokesperson Monique Bellamy told the publication, "Anticompetitive behavior can often slow and thwart growth for smaller companies… Meta's attempt to buy Snap, and then egregiously copy its features, was an attempt to do just that."
While testifying, Zuckerberg acknowledged that Snapchat was and continues to be a significant competitor.
Why It's Important: The FTC's lawsuit could reshape the tech landscape. It accuses Meta of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44821791/meta-platforms-used-buy-or-bury-strategy-to-monopolize-social-media-ftc-says">using a "buy or bury"</a> strategy to suppress rivals, potentially forcing the company to divest Instagram and WhatsApp.
Meta denies wrongdoing, arguing it faces strong competition from platforms like TikTok and YouTube, the platform owned by Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google.

On Monday, the trial revealed internal strategies, such as Zuckerberg&#8217;s unexecuted plan to reset all Facebook users&#8217; connections in 2022, aimed at keeping the platform culturally relevant.
Price Action: On Tuesday, Meta's stock fell by 1.87%, closing at $521.51, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
META holds a momentum rating of 60.72% and a growth rating of 74.91%, based on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META">Benzinga's proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

米国株は火曜日、３大株価指数全てが大幅な下落を記録し、ダウ平均株価指数はセッション中に550ポイント以上下がった。４月に入り、５か月連続の上昇を記録していた株価指数が下落し、損失を記録している。ダウは5％下落し、2022年9月以来の最大の月次パフォーマンスを記録、S&amp;P 500も先月約4.2％下落した。
ウォールストリートのアナリストたちは、日々新しい株の選定を行っているが、投資家にとっては、市場の動きを予測する際、全てのアナリストが特に印象的なトラックレコードを持っているわけではない。また、単一の株に関しても、アナリストの格付けと株価目標は大きく異なる場合があり、投資家はどのアナリストの意見を信頼するかについて混乱してしまうこともある。
Benzingaの評価アナリストAPIは、ビジョン新聞のニュース部門が主要なセルサイド銀行との直接提携を通じてキュレーションされた最高品質の株式評価のコレクションである。Benzingaは、米国株式市場の開場３時間前に、毎日一夜で評価が変化する。最近、投資ダッシュボードプロバイダーのToggle.aiのデータスペシャリストは、Benzinga Proの加入者とBenzingaの読者が定期的に受け取るアナリストの分析は、株式市場を上回る取引指標として使用することができると発見した。
トップアナリストの選定: 幸運なことに、Benzingaのすべての読者は、<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/22/09/28888638/exclusive-study-finds-benzinga-analyst-ratings-data-yields-market-beating-strategie">Analyst Stock Ratings</a>ページで最新のアナリストの評価を入手することができる。トレーダーがBenzingaのアナリストの格付けの豊富なデータベースを整理する方法の１つは、アナリストの正確さである。Benzingaのアナリストの格付けにおいて最も正確なウォールストリートの５人のアナリストによる最新の株の選定を見てみよう。
