Snap is heading into its third-quarter results with investors weighing advertising conditions, legal exposure and the outlook for the holiday quarter. Snap settled with two teenage plaintiffs on Monday, November 2, before opening statements in a Los Angeles trial over claims that social media harms teenagers, according to Yahoo Finance.

Advertising remains the main test

The legal settlement removes the nearest courtroom event, but it does not eliminate the broader product and regulatory risk. Yahoo Finance reported that Snap Chief Financial Officer Doug Hott had warned that further trials could lead to significant changes to products and business practices.

The company has also faced wider pressure across digital advertising. Alphabet, Reddit and Pinterest recently delivered signals that raised concerns about ad demand and traffic trends. Snap's messaging-led service may have different exposure, while its daily users reached 493 million in the second quarter, up 5 percent year over year, according to the report.

Results due after Wednesday's close

Snap is scheduled to release third-quarter results after the market closes on Wednesday, November 4. Company guidance calls for revenue of 1.70 billion to 1.74 billion US dollars and adjusted EBITDA of 300 million to 350 million US dollars.

Analysts cited by Yahoo Finance expect revenue of about 1.73 billion US dollars and adjusted EBITDA of roughly 337 million US dollars. The holiday outlook may be as important as the quarter itself because analysts expect a substantial share of the year's adjusted EBITDA to arrive in the fourth quarter.

The real-time quote of Snap stock showed a price of 4.86 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 14:01 CET on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
