Snap Tumbles on Projected Sales Drop in Warning For Meta, Google
(Bloomberg) -- Snap Inc. shares tumbled about 15% in premarket trading after the company projected its first ever quarterly revenue decline, casting a shadow over other advertising-dependent companies.
Most Read from Bloomberg
The Snapchat parent said sales are expected to drop as much as 10% in the current period from a year earlier amid a flurry of changes to its advertising products. In the fourth quarter, sales were flat at $1.3 billion, marking the first-ever quarter of no growth since the company went public six years ago.
Snap kicked off a busy week of earnings for peers that rely on digital advertising for a majority of their revenue. Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. releases its results Wednesday after the market closes while Google parent Alphabet Inc. reports on Thursday. All three have been roiled by more than a year of upheaval prompted by Apple Inc.’s privacy changes that that made it more difficult to personalize and track the success of ads on their apps.
Snap is making changes focused on its direct-response business — ads that prompt users to take an immediate action like buying a product or signing up for an email list. That’s been a key piece of the company’s money-making operation, especially in recent quarters when economic uncertainty has led marketers to cut back on spending.
So far in the current period, Snap has seen a 7% decline in revenue compared to last year, according to a letter to investors.

The company posted a net loss of $288.5 million, or 18 cents a share, including $34 million in charges from its workforce restructuring. That compared to a profit of $23 million, or one cent, a year earlier.

Snap swings to quarterly net loss, expects lower rev in Q1
Snap Inc on Tuesday swung to a net loss in the fourth quarter and said revenue could decline in the current quarter by as much as 10% as it faces fierce competition from rivals like TikTok and weak advertising demand. The owner of photo messaging app Snapchat is the first of the major digital advertising platforms to report quarterly results, which often provide an early signal for platforms like Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc and Alphabet's Google , which report results this week. In a letter to investors, Snap said a weakening economy, increased competition from other social media platforms and "platform policy changes" continued to hurt its business.

Ryanair boss says Europe entering 'inevitable' airline consolidation period
Europe was entering an "inevitable" post-pandemic period of airline consolidation as legacy flag-carriers struggle to navigate through a competitive landscape, the chief executive of low-cost carrier Ryanair said on Wednesday. "We are definitely, post-COVID, entering a four or five-year period of consolidation," Ryanair's Michael O'Leary told Reuters on the sidelines of a news briefing in Portugal's capital Lisbon. Many of Europe's legacy airlines are finding it tough to effectively compete with budget carriers, hampered by weak balance sheets that could be made more robust by merging with rivals, analysts have said.

Polish competition watchdog accuses Amazon EU of misleading consumers
GDANSK (Reuters) -Poland's competition watchdog has accused e-commerce firm Amazon's European unit of misleading sales and delivery practices, the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) said on Wednesday. The office said consumers on Amazon's Polish website were misled as to the moment a sales contract is concluded, product availability, delivery times and consumer rights, which if proven could result in a penalty for Amazon EU of up to 10% of its turnover. According a statement published by UOKiK Amazon EU treated orders it received through the Amazon.pl website as non-binding until the moment the company had confirmed actual shipment, leaving it the option to cancel them.

"Our view is that this reinforces the case for clear, effective, timely regulation and proactive engagement with industry," Financial Services Minister Andrew Griffith said in proposals put out to public consultation.
