- Activist firm Randian Capital issued an open letter demanding that Snap sell its loss-making Specs hardware unit, adding to shareholder pressure.
- Raymond James cut its price target on Snap to $8.00 from $10.00, citing a lack of strategic clarity despite opportunities in AI.
- The broader market is also facing headwinds from ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and mixed earnings reports from the tech sector.
