Social-media company Snap launched new augmented-reality glasses Tuesday that will retail at $2,195--far ahead of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which sell for $799. Concerns around Snap's high price point is weighing on the company's share price, the analyst notes.

EssilorLuxottica shares slip 2.3%, while Snap nudges up 0.8% premarket after sliding close to 10% in the last session. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
