About Snap, Inc.
Snap, Inc. is best known for its flagship product, Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enables users to share photos, videos, and messages. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Santa Monica, California, Snap has grown to employ over 6,000 people, according to LinkedIn.
The company is also behind Lens Studio, an augmented reality (AR) platform, and Spectacles, its AR glasses. Snap’s business model relies heavily on advertising revenue, connecting brands and direct response advertisers to its large and active user base. As of early August 2025, Snap reported 460 million daily active users.
The Allegations
The class action lawsuit alleges that Snap, Inc. and certain executives made materially false and misleading statements, or failed to disclose critical information, about the company’s advertising revenue growth rate during the class period of April 29, 2025 to August 5, 2025.
According to the complaint, Snap failed to inform investors about a significant execution error in its ad platform in April 2025. This error caused advertising revenue growth to plummet from 9% in the first quarter to just 1% in April. Instead of disclosing this internal issue, Snap’s leadership allegedly attributed the slowdown to external macroeconomic factors, omitting the true impact of the ad platform problem.
On August 5, 2025, Snap revealed the truth during its second quarter earnings announcement, admitting to the ad platform issue and the resulting revenue drop. The market reacted swiftly: Snap’s stock price fell by 17.15%, dropping from $9.39 per share on August 5, 2025 to $7.78 per share on August 6, 2025. This sharp decline led to significant losses for investors.
