Snap Inc. Debuts SPECS Augmented Reality Glasses to Make Computing More HumanJune 16, 2026 1:00 PM
Business Wire SPECS bring AI assistance, work tools, entertainment, and shared experiences into the world around you, so people can create, connect, learn, and get things done in the moment. Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) today unveiled SPECS, a wearable computer built into see-through augmented reality glasses. SPECS are available for pre-order today at SPECS.COM for $2,195 with a $200 refundable deposit, and are expected to ship this fall in the United States, United Kingdom, and France. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260612154498/en/Kaia Gerber for SPECS, by Steven Meisel “SPECS are the beginning of a new era in computing,” said Evan Spiegel, co-founder and CEO of Snap Inc. “For decades, computers have asked us to look down, sit still, or step out of the moment. SPECS bring computing into the world around us where we live, work, learn, create, and connect.” For more than a decade, Snap has invested across the full augmented reality stack including developer tools, a proprietary operating system, displays, optics, and computer vision, filing more than 7,000 patents to create technology that makes computing more human. With SPECS, that long-term vision moves from phones to glasses. “The smartphone put our lives in our pockets,” Spiegel said. “SPECS put computing into the world, where life actually happens.” Today’s devices force a tradeoff between capability and wearability. AI glasses are wearable, but limited in what they can do. Headsets are powerful, but can be uncomfortable to wear and shut people out of the world. SPECS represent a new category: more capable than AI glasses, more wearable than headsets, and fully standalone, with no puck or tether. SPECS are built to be wearable for everyday life and capable of rich spatial computing. Crafted from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer, SPECS are available in two sizes, with the 47 mm model weighing just 132 grams and the 52 mm model weighing 136 grams. Removable inserts support a wide range of prescriptions. The glasses feature Snap’s proprietary liquid crystal on silicon display, with a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors for sharper contrast and richer, smoother visuals. The field of view is equivalent to a 24-inch desktop display for work or up to a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away. Snap redesigned the waveguide to deliver a clearer, more seamless view of the world with minimal distortion. Our new waveguide uses billions of invisibly small nanostructures, so small that more than 10,000 can fit on the tip of a single hair. Electrochromic lenses, inspired by the same advanced technology found in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, shift from clear to tinted in 10 seconds. “SPECS are not designed to replace the world,” Spiegel said. “They’re designed to bring computing into it.” Powered by two Snapdragon processors, one for computer vision and one dedicated to running Lenses, SPECS enable high-speed hand tracking, lower latency, and more natural interactions. Verified by advanced robotic measurement systems, SPECS deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency, helping digital content feel anchored in the real world. SPECS make augmented reality useful every day by bringing real-world tools, a large private display, and shared immersive experiences into the world around you. Directions, spatial measurements, and contextual AI assistance appear exactly when people need them. A large, private display makes it possible to stream content, cast a screen, open a whiteboard, or turn almost any place into a workspace. And hundreds of developer-built Lenses unlock shared experiences that screens cannot, from reading the green, to overlaying interactive lessons onto your drum set with Drum Kit, to education tools like Vector Fields that make invisible forces visible. SPECS offer up to 4 hours of mixed-use battery life, including audio and video playback, Lenses, AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, and more. The included charging case provides four additional charges on the go, delivering up to 20 total hours of mixed use. “SPECS are the most capable and most wearable AR glasses ever built,” Spiegel said. Snap also announced new tools for the SPECS developer ecosystem. Over the past year and a half, Snap has shipped 10 Snap OS updates with more than 40 new features and APIs, and developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. The company introduced agentic development for building SPECS Lenses in Lens Studio, designed to help developers explore ideas, prototype, test, debug, optimize, publish, and improve Lenses after launch. The developer preview is rolling out in Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Snap also announced the SPECS Spatial Benchmark to evaluate how AI models perform across real-world spatial tasks, the Migration Agent to help teams port existing projects to SPECS, and the Native Development Kit, enabling developers to bring their own code and libraries into Lens Studio. “With SPECS, AI is not intelligence trapped in a chat box,” Spiegel said. “It is intelligence that can see what you see, understand what you’re trying to do, and help you in the moment.” As SPECS bring computing into a more personal form factor, Snap emphasized its privacy-first approach. SPECS ask clearly before accessing sensitive information, include an LED light that glows when recording, prioritize on-device data processing, and give people control over what gets stored, synced, shared, or deleted. “SPECS only work if people trust them,” Spiegel said. “Privacy has to be built in from the very beginning.” Snap also unveiled a global SPECS campaign shot by legendary photographer Steven Meisel and featuring a group of creative visionaries, including Jimmy Butler, Imogen Heap, Hoyeon, Jack Harlow, and Kaia Gerber. Each Visionary has been working with Snap to imagine new SPECS experiences that will debut this fall. “Together, we will create something truly special,” Spiegel said. “A future where computing empowers us, brings us closer together, and reconnects us with the world around us.” About Snap Inc.

Snap shares tumble after geopolitical headwinds weigh on outlookMay 7, 2026 6:52 AM
IH Market News Snap Inc. (NYSE:SNAP) posted first-quarter results that topped analyst estimates, but the stock slid after the company warned that advertising revenue was pressured by the conflict in the Middle East and softer growth trends in North America. Its second-quarter revenue forecast also came in largely in line with Wall Street expectations.The company additionally revealed it had ended its $400 million agreement with artificial intelligence startup Perplexity.Shares of Snap dropped nearly 10% in premarket trading Thursday. Revenue growth improves despite advertising pressures The social media platform reported a first-quarter loss of -$0.05 per share, better than analyst projections of -$0.08 per share.Revenue rose 12% year-over-year to $1.53 billion, narrowly exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.52 billion. The company’s top-line growth accelerated compared with prior quarters as it returned to growth in daily active users while also improving margins.Advertising revenue increased 3% to $1.24 billion during the quarter, supported by strength in direct response advertising. However, Snap said the conflict in the Middle East reduced revenue by approximately $20 million to $25 million in March alone and cautioned that geopolitical uncertainty could continue to weigh on results.Adjusted EBITDA reached $233.3 million, ahead of analyst expectations of $212 million. Analysts see early signs of improvement “SNAP has been through multiple years of struggling to get its ad business back to industry average growth, and while it continues to trail, there are greenshoots appearing,” Barclays analyst Ross Sandler said in a note.“Admittedly, some of the 2Q uptick is from easy comps around the ad auction issues a year ago, but there is also underlying improvement,” he added.Wolfe Research analyst Shweta Khajuria said Snap’s 5% growth in daily active users during the quarter was “overshadowed by macro uncertainty.”“That said, while the Perplexity partnership won’t happen, we note that SNAP has yet to rule out other AI LLMs or agents partnerships to serve as distribution for the platform,” she said. Guidance disappoints investors Investor sentiment weakened after Snap issued second-quarter revenue guidance in the range of $1.52 billion to $1.55 billion. The midpoint of $1.535 billion came in slightly below the analyst consensus forecast of $1.54 billion.The company said its outlook excludes any contribution from Perplexity following the mutually agreed termination of the partnership during the first quarter and also reflects ongoing weakness tied to conditions in the Middle East.“In Q1, we returned to growth in daily active users, accelerated revenue growth, expanded margins, and generated strong free cash flow,” said CEO Evan Spiegel. “We remain focused on disciplined execution as we invest in Specs and our long-term opportunity in intelligent eyewear.” User growth and cash flow strengthen Snap reported adjusted EBITDA of $233 million, more than double the $108 million posted a year earlier. Free cash flow climbed 150% year-over-year to $286 million from $114 million.Global daily active users increased 5% from the prior year to 483 million, while monthly active users rose to 956 million.For the second quarter, the company expects adjusted EBITDA between $175 million and $200 million. Snap also anticipates pre-tax restructuring charges ranging from $95 million to $130 million tied to a recent organizational overhaul, with most of those costs expected to be recognized during the second quarter. More about Snap Snap is a social media and technology company best known for Snapchat, its multimedia messaging platform. The company generates most of its revenue through digital advertising and has increasingly focused on augmented reality, artificial intelligence integrations, and wearable technology initiatives such as its Specs smart glasses platform.Snap stock price Original: Snap shares tumble after geopolitical headwinds weigh on outlook

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, future stock repurchase programs or stock dividends, business strategy and plans, user growth and engagement, product initiatives, objectives of management for future operations, and advertiser and partner offerings, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “going to,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. We caution you that the foregoing may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this press release. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this press release primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends, including our financial outlook, macroeconomic uncertainty, and geo-political events and conflicts, that we believe may continue to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties related to: our financial performance; our ability to attain and sustain profitability; our ability to generate and sustain positive cash flow; our ability to attract and retain users, partners, and advertisers; competition and new market entrants; managing our growth and future expenses; compliance with new laws, regulations, and executive actions; our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property; our ability to succeed in existing and new market segments; our ability to attract and retain qualified team members and key personnel; our ability to repay or refinance outstanding debt, or to access additional financing; future acquisitions, divestitures, or investments; and the potential adverse impact of climate change, natural disasters, health epidemics, macroeconomic conditions, and war or other armed conflict, as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent periodic report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made available in our periodic report that will be filed with the SEC for the period covered by this press release and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, including future developments related to geo-political events and conflicts and macroeconomic conditions, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in our business and is a key financial indicator used by management. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss), excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation; and certain other items impacting net income (loss) from time to time. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Snap shares slip after EU opens investigation into child safety on SnapchatMarch 26, 2026 10:22 AM
IH Market News
Shares of Snap (NYSE:SNAP) fell about 1.6% in premarket trading on Thursday after the European Union launched an investigation into whether Snapchat is adequately addressing risks related to child grooming and the sale of illegal products on its platform.The inquiry is being carried out under the EU’s Digital Services Act, which requires major online platforms to take stronger action against illegal and harmful content or face potential penalties of up to 6% of their global annual revenue.“From grooming and exposure to illegal products to account settings that undermine minors’ safety, Snapchat appears to have overlooked that the Digital Services Act demands high safety standards for all users,” EU technology chief Henna Virkkunen said in a statement.The European Commission said it believes Snapchat may lack sufficient safeguards to stop minors from being contacted by users attempting sexual exploitation or other criminal activities.Regulators also raised concerns that the platform’s content moderation systems may not be effective enough at preventing posts that direct users toward illegal products such as drugs or age-restricted goods including vapes and alcohol.In addition, the Commission said it will assume control of a Dutch regulatory investigation launched last September that examined the sale of vaping products to minors through Snapchat.The probe represents another regulatory challenge for social media companies operating in Europe under the Digital Services Act, which introduced stricter rules aimed at improving user protection and strengthening oversight of online content.Snap stock price

Snap Shares Rise After Q4 Profit Beats Forecasts Despite User Growth ShortfallFebruary 5, 2026 6:41 AM
IH Market News
Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) shares climbed roughly 6% in premarket trading on Thursday after the social media company reported fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, even as user growth came in below forecasts and forward guidance remained cautious.The company reported adjusted earnings of $0.03 per share for the fourth quarter, outperforming analyst projections of a $0.03 per share loss. Revenue totalled $1.72 billion, slightly ahead of consensus estimates of $1.7 billion and representing a 10% increase year-on-year.However, daily active users reached 474 million, missing analyst expectations of 477 million.“Our Q4 results began to reflect the impact of our strategic pivot toward profitable growth, translating into revenue diversification and meaningful margin expansion,” said CEO Evan Spiegel in a statement.Gross margin rose to 59% during the quarter, improving by 4 percentage points compared with the previous quarter and by 2 percentage points from the same period last year. Snap generated operating cash flow of $270 million and free cash flow of $206 million during the quarter.Looking ahead, Snap projected first-quarter 2026 revenue in the range of $1.5 billion to $1.53 billion, falling short of analyst expectations of $1.54 billion. The midpoint of the company’s forecast, $1.515 billion, is about 1.6% below consensus estimates.“The 1Q revenue guide fell short of expectations as the recently announced Perplexity deal has yet to solidify (still coming to an agreement on terms) and mgmt did not factor it into guidance,” Stifel analyst Mark Kelley said.“Ultimately, with questions around the timing of the Perplexity deal hitting the P&L and continued headwinds in the user base, we think it will be hard for this one to find support intra-quarter,” he added, lowering his price target to $5.50 from $7.The company also unveiled a $500 million share repurchase programme designed to offset dilution linked to employee stock compensation.Snap reported strong growth in its Other Revenue segment, which includes Snapchat+ subscriptions, with revenue increasing 62% year-on-year to $232 million. Subscriber numbers rose 71% year-on-year to 24 million. Revenue from In-App Optimisations increased 89% compared with the previous year, while Dynamic Product Ads revenue grew 19%.The broader Snapchat platform recorded 946 million monthly active users globally in the fourth quarter, representing an increase of 51 million users, or 6% year-on-year, although daily user growth fell short of expectations.Snap stock price

Snap Inc. also announced today its board of directors has authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $500 million of its Class A common stock. Repurchases of the Class A common stock may be made from time to time, either through open market transactions (including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans) or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws.

Note: For adjustments and additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures and other items discussed, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and “Supplemental Financial Information and Business Metrics.”

Forward-Looking Statements


This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, future stock repurchase programs or stock dividends, business strategy and plans, user growth and engagement, product initiatives, objectives of management for future operations, and advertiser and partner offerings, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “going to,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. We caution you that the foregoing may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this press release.


You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this press release primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends, including our financial outlook, macroeconomic uncertainty, and geo-political events and conflicts, that we believe may continue to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties related to: our financial performance; our ability to attain and sustain profitability; our ability to generate and sustain positive cash flow; our ability to attract and retain users, partners, and advertisers; competition and new market entrants; managing our growth and future expenses; compliance with new laws, regulations, and executive actions; our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property; our ability to succeed in existing and new market segments; our ability to attract and retain qualified team members and key personnel; our ability to repay or refinance outstanding debt, or to access additional financing; future acquisitions, divestitures, or investments; and the potential adverse impact of climate change, natural disasters, health epidemics, macroeconomic conditions, and war or other armed conflict, as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent periodic report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made available in our periodic report that will be filed with the SEC for the period covered by this press release and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, including future developments related to geo-political events and conflicts and macroeconomic conditions, except as required by law.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures


To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.


We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in our business and is a key financial indicator used by management. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.


We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss), excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; payroll and other tax expense related to stock-based compensation; and certain other items impacting net income (loss) from time to time. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA.


We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.


For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

In the first quarter of 2025, we refined our processes and controls to allow us to more accurately record user activity that would not otherwise be recorded during such period due to delays in receiving user metric information resulting from carrier or other user connectivity issues during the measurement period. For additional information concerning these refinements, see the “Note Regarding User Metrics and Other Data” in our Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2025. As a result of such refinements, our DAUs and MAUs may not be directly comparable to those in prior periods.
