Shares of Snapchat parent Snap Inc. are pulling a disappearing act on its investors after the company posted a flaccid second quarter earnings report on Thursday. Its stock was down about 5 percent in early after hours trading.
After markets closed, Snap reported $181.7 million in revenue and a loss of $0.16 a share for the three months ended June 30 — falling short of analyst expectations of $186 million in revenue and a loss of $0.14 a share. Snap’s sales represented a modest increase from the underwhelming $150 million in revenue posted in its debut earnings report.
Snap added 7 million daily active users in Q2 to reach 173 million — a 21 percent year-over-year increase, but only a 4 percent jump from the 8 million it added in its first quarter, showing slower growth.
