What's Happening?
Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has announced a class action lawsuit against Snap Inc. for alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of investors who purchased Snap securities between April 29, 2025, and August 5, 2025, claims that Snap and its executives misled investors about the company's advertising revenue and growth prospects. The complaint alleges that Snap's optimistic reports were based on unreliable information and that the company was already experiencing significant execution errors. The lawsuit follows Snap's disappointing second-quarter results, which revealed a substantial decline in advertising revenue, leading to a 17% drop in Snap's stock price.
