Snap IncSnap reported second-quarter revenue of $1.60 billion, beating analyst estimates of $1.54 billion and marking 18.9% year-on-year growth. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.13, significantly above the $0.06 consensus, while adjusted EBITDA reached $249.6 million versus expectations of $185.3 million. CEO Evan Spiegel attributed the performance to a 56% year-on-year increase in conversion events driven by ad platform automation and AI-powered tools, along with strong adoption of new ad formats and robust growth among small and medium-sized business advertisers. During the earnings call, analysts questioned the durability of growth, investment pacing for Specs, North America user trends, and the financial rationale for Specs investment, with management highlighting disciplined investment and ongoing monitoring of regulatory risks. The company also noted that World Cup-related ad spending benefited the quarter but is expected to normalize in Q3.
