Class Action Lawsuit Puts Spotlight on Snap's Ad Revenue Growth Concerns
A new class action lawsuit against Snap Inc. is grabbing investor attention—not just for its potential payouts, but for what it reveals about the company's recent business challenges. The suit centers on alleged misleading statements about Snap’s advertising revenue growth, raising questions for both current and prospective shareholders.
Ad Revenue Growth Fell Sharply: Why Are Investors Concerned?
The heart of the complaint is this: Snap reported a substantial slowdown in ad revenue growth in the second quarter of 2025. According to the filing, revenue growth slipped from 9% in the first quarter to just 1% in April, a deceleration the company attributed to platform issues and the timing of Ramadan. The result was swift and stark: after announcing its Q2 results on August 5, Snap’s stock price fell about 17% overnight—from $9.39 on August 5 to $7.78 on August 6.
| Key Dates | Ad Revenue Growth (%) | Stock Price | Price Change (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | 9 | - | - |
| April 2025 | 1 | - | - |
| Aug 5, 2025 (Pre-Earnings) | - | $9.39 | - |
| Aug 6, 2025 (Post-Earnings) | - | $7.78 | -17.15 |
Class Action Eligibility: What Investors Need to Know
If you bought Snap shares between April 29, 2025 and August 5, 2025 and lost money, you may be eligible to participate in the class action lawsuit led by Levi & Korsinsky. The deadline to ask the court to be named lead plaintiff is October 20, 2025. Importantly, joining the class action doesn’t require you to pay any out-of-pocket fees or serve as a lead plaintiff to benefit from any potential settlement or judgment.
Why This Lawsuit Matters: A Signal on Disclosure Risks?
The case alleges that Snap leadership presented an overly optimistic picture of advertising trends while omitting key adverse information—something investors should note when assessing risk. Such class actions not only impact current valuations but can influence management behavior and disclosure standards in the future.
