Snap: Planning For A Hurricane That Probably Won't Arrive

By -

 

  • Snap reported a solid Q3, but the company guided to a potentially weak Q4 on some huge negative assumptions.
  • The social media company now trades at only 3x sales with the market not accurately viewing the recent revenue slowdown in light of the massive growth the last 2 years.
  • Snap reported strong 19% DAU growth providing a better signal on normalized growth.
  • The stock is too cheap here with the panic sell off.

Snap (NYSE:SNAP) just reported a solid quarter and guided to very conservative Q4 numbers, causing the market to run in fear. The social media company is oddly preparing for a hurricane by announcing another $500 million share buyback. My investment thesis is finally Bullish on the stock following a Bearish view since nearly $60 due to Snap trading based on pending doom I think is unlikely to arrive.

Update - Oct. 21
Snap is hitting new lows today, so no reason to be a hero and rush into the stock here. Looks like the analysts are blindly reiterating the weak Nov./Dec. thesis despite the company making huge assumptions and constantly missing internal targets both on the upside and downside. 

-Nowak also noted that by not giving guidance for its fourth quarter, but providing some commentary around it, it seems that Snap's (SNAP) ad business is growing around 9% year-over-year, despite having an easy comparison to last year. Nowak estimated that Snap's (SNAP) ad business grew around 4% on a year-over-year basis in September, sped up in October, and is likely to decline between 3% and 6% year-over-year in November and December.

-Bank of America analyst Justin Post downgraded Snap (SNAP) to neutral following the third-quarter results, and said the the outlook suggests it has a "high macro exposure" going into 2023.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   Update - June 23, 2023 C3.ai has fallen back to earth after the Investor Day meeting. The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting. Analyst Brad Zelnick said the event "left a lot to be desired" as there were  no details on financials, "limited" updates on the company's operations and investors did not really attend the event, despite it being positioned as for them. "While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
