Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) turned in another horrible quarter, and its stock dropped near a 52-week low, retreating 18% to $8.61. According to Reuters, the company \u201cwarned results in the next quarter could fall below Wall Street\u2019s targets.\u201d The poor performance is the handiwork of long-time CEO Evan Spiegel. (Customers are abandoning these 25 brands.)<\/p>\n
Snap said its active users rose to 383 million. It does not matter much because the company has failed to monetize this base. \u201cWe are working to accelerate our revenue growth and we are using this opportunity to make significant improvements to our advertising platform to help drive increased return on investment for our advertising partners,\u201d he said. That \u201cworking\u201d has not worked.<\/p>\n
Revenue for the quarter dropped 3% to $989 million. Its net loss was $329 million. Snap launched several new products, none of which appears to have helped. Spiegel has been chief executive officer of Snap since 2012, which means he has had a decade to ruin the company.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t
