このコンテンツについて
Snapchat has been under a relentless spotlight in the past several days with a cascade of legal drama, mounting investor pressure, product intrigue, and a bit of headline tech ambition to spice up the tension. New York City hit Snapchat with a lawsuit alleging it plays a dangerous hand in the mental health crisis among teens through intentionally addictive social features, a suit that is now part of a loud chorus worldwide about social media’s impact on youth. This fierce scrutiny from government doesn’t end stateside; the European Commission just demanded answers from Snapchat on what it’s really doing to keep children safe from age-inappropriate material and illegal product access, signaling that regulators both in the US and Europe are watching its every move.
Investor nerves are as frayed as ever. Hagens Berman, among several law firms leading the charge, has filed a securities class action against Snap and its top brass, claiming the company exaggerated its digital advertising success while hiding platform blunders that massively dented revenue growth and tanked the stock. When the truth came out in early August—only a measly 1 percent ad revenue growth in April versus the rosy 9 percent in Q1, with a platform change that let advertisers snag bargains at Snap’s expense—the stock nosedived over 17 percent in a day and has kept sliding. Firms like Kaplan Fox and Levi Korsinsky are urging shareholders who lost money in Snap since late April to jump into the legal fray before the October 20 deadline, while Kahn Swick Foti and others have issued stern reminders about investors' rights. Some market experts, like Tim Bohen on StocksToTrade, are counseling traders to watch Snap’s daily price swings more closely than its narratives, but the underlying financials speak loudly: $1.34 billion in Q2 2025 revenue, yet a gut-punch net loss of over $260 million, negative profit margins, and high debts stacking the odds against a quick comeback.
Yet in the midst of this storm, the Snapchat product team is doubling down on the metaverse glow-up. MediaPost reports Snapchat is preparing a “Bitmoji Plaza,” a whimsical 3D virtual world for web users to hang with their avatars, all synchronized for a bigger launch with Snap’s next-gen AR glasses in 2026. There’s also a small win for e-commerce: Practical Ecommerce broke news this week that WooCommerce merchants can now sync their stores directly with Snapchat Ads, setting up shoppable campaigns and improved targeting with Snap Pixel integration.
Even social media nostalgia couldn’t resist jumping in, as Instagram saw a popular creator revisiting the colorful, complicated origins of Snapchat’s founding, reminding everyone that nothing about this brand was ever simple—not then, not now. How and if Snap can ride out these legal and financial storms for the long term is the real cliffhanger. And if you want the financial tea, mark your calendar: Snap’s next earnings call is November 5, 2025, and you can bet Wall Street, regulators, and millions of teens will be listening.
