The Edgewater Research analysts specifically note that Wall Street’s average revenue estimate of $1.343 billion is too low. Instead, the firm provided a higher revenue estimate for Snap to overcome, set at $1.362 billion. It highlighted ongoing progress with Direct Response but noted that the company has been capped by ongoing macroeconomic concerns.
Investors will also note that Wall Street expects Snap to report adjusted earnings per share of -16 cents in Q2 2025. The company is likely to do so, as it has beaten analysts’ EPS estimates in all eight of its most recent quarters.
