Snap: specs bomb

December 14, 2018

Snap's spectacles maybe hip, but Snapchat's daily active users declined by 1% in its most recent quarter, to 186m

That's part of an ominous trend

#Snapchat has 0.6% share of US digital ad revenue

#Facebook has 25% share of US digital ad revenue

What's more, Facebook owned #Instagram has copied Snapchat's photo sharing features !

So much for sustainable differentiation....

On the positives, however:

  • Snap expects revenues of $355m to $380m during its fourth quarter (year over year growth of up to 33%)

  • Augmented reality is waiting to explode

  • It has $1.4bn in net cash, despite its quarterly cash burn rate
