Snap Inc's stock plummeted 5.25% intraday on Thursday, extending its recent downward trajectory.
The decline came after Raymond James cut its target price on Snap from $10 to $8. Additionally, negative signals intensified as senior executive Mohan Ajit sold 28,100 shares, raising market concerns about management confidence. The company previously disclosed layoffs of approximately 1,000 employees, representing nearly 19% of its workforce, which the market interpreted as a sign of mounting operational pressure. Financial data further weighed on sentiment, with Snap reporting a first-quarter net loss of $140 million, indicating continued challenges in achieving profitability.
Despite BMO Capital recently raising its target price on Snap and maintaining an Outperform rating, the upgrade failed to lift investor confidence amid the broader negative developments.
