Snap Inc. (SNAP) Securities Class Action:
According to the complaint, Snap gave false assurances about the effectiveness of its ad platform and its potential to drive revenue. The lawsuit claims that the company was in fact experiencing significant negative consequences from a major "execution error" related to a recent change in its ad platform, but failed to disclose this crucial information to investors.
The alleged deception came to light on August 5, 2025, when Snap reported its Q2 2025 results. The company not only missed analyst estimates for its GAAP EPS but also disclosed that in its efforts to improve advertiser performance, it "shipped a change that caused some campaigns to clear the auction at substantially reduced prices." Snap also revealed a significant slowdown in ad revenue growth, from 9% in Q1 to just 1% in April. This news sent Snap’s stock price tumbling by approximately 17% the following day.
Hagens Berman’s Investigation on Behalf of Investors
Hagens Berman, a global plaintiffs’ rights law firm, is investigating the case and urging investors who suffered substantial losses to come forward.
“We are investigating whether Snap misled investors by failing to be transparent about the ad platform changes that ultimately caused a sharp deceleration in revenue growth and a significant drop in share price,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
