C Fundamentals grade

Snap Inc is a technology company whose flagship product is Snapchat, a visual messaging app built around the smartphone camera. Snapchat opens directly to the camera and lets users send photo and video messages, known as Snaps, that are deleted by default. It is organised into five tabs — Camera, Visual Messaging, Snap Map, Stories and Spotlight — and offers augmented reality Lenses, the Bitmoji avatar tool and an AI chatbot called My AI. The company also makes Spectacles, wearable AR glasses running its own Snap OS, and provides Lens Studio for building AR experiences.

Most revenue comes from advertising: Snap sells brand and direct-response ad formats, including AR Lenses, Snap Ads, Story Ads and Commercials, through a self-serve platform. It also charges subscriptions through Snapchat+, Lens+ and Snapchat Platinum, and sells extra cloud storage for Memories.

Snap works with developers, creators, publishers and advertisers, and partners with telecoms firms and device makers in newer markets. It relies on third-party providers for infrastructure. As of 31 December 2025 it employed 5,261 full-time staff, around 54% in engineering roles.

Based on Snap Inc's 10-K filed February 5, 2026.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 4, 2026 (estimated)

Snap Inc's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 12.6% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 11.1%. Where it lags: long-term debt as % of assets of 45.3% ranks 28 of 32 interactive media & services companies we cover.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 79.8% while net income grew 43.0%: a 37pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Margins widening. Operating margin is up 6.5 points on a year ago.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.
  • Estimates rising. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has risen 35.4% over 90 days.

Things to watch

  • Loss-making. Operating margin is -5.1%: costs exceed revenue.
  • Heavy stock-based pay. Stock pay equals 16.2% of revenue, against a median of 3.9% for interactive media & services companies we cover: a real cost that cash-flow figures leave out.
  • Volatile shares. Over the past year the shares showed annualised volatility of 58% and a beta of 2.2 against the S&P 500.
  • Insiders selling. 9 insiders sold $111M of stock over the past 365 days and none bought (95% under pre-set trading plans).
  • Below peers: long-term debt as % of assets. Long-term debt as % of assets of 45.3% ranks 28 of 32 interactive media & services companies we cover (median 16.9%).

Not rated: valued with our growth model, which doesn't carry a Buy/Hold/Sell rating yet.

Valuation models

We value Snap Inc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 10.9%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.32 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Growth cash-flow model Revenue for this year and next from analysts' consensus, then growth fading to 2.5%; the operating margin moving to profitable peers'; investment needed per dollar of growth from peers; reduced by a failure probability. For young or fast-growing companies. The starting margin is normalized to between -100% and 60%; net margin is a proxy when operating income is not tagged. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$2.8 ~$1.6–$3.9 Primary model, counts double
Forward price-to-earnings vs peers Next year's consensus earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) forward price-to-earnings. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$1.3 ~$1.1–$2.0 Included
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. — Does not apply: the model gives no positive value
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. — Does not apply: return on equity is not positive
Forward price-to-sales vs peers Next year's consensus sales per share times peers' typical forward price-to-sales; only when earnings are negative. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$1.4 ~$2.9–$9.9 Included, half weight
Revenue-to-maturity model Revenue grown to maturity with the cash margin moving to the industry's; for companies not yet profitable. ~$5.8 ~$4.4–$7.4 Included
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (growth cash-flow model) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$3.0 ~$1.3–$5.8 4 models

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Snap Inc with Interactive Media & Services in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Moat

28 /100

Weak moat

How hard Snap's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 6 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 5.8% of total assets over 9 years.

  • Pricing power 10 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 53.4%, moving by 17.6 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -28.8%; its worst year was -474.0%.

  • Cash conversion 5 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 5 of 10 years, at a median -1.8% of revenue.

  • Discipline 2 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 12.7% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 29.5% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (33 before it).

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
