Snap shares tumble on weak results

Snap (SNAP) is sinking after revenue and daily active users missed estimates. The company reported sales of $207.9 million and added only 4.5 million new daily users during the quarter, totaling 178 million. Analysts were expecting revenue of $236.9 million and 180.5 million daily active users. Snap also said it lost nearly $40 million from unsold Spectacles, its video-recording glasses. CEO Evan Spiegel said in prepared remarks that the company is working to redesign its app to make it easier to use. “One thing we have heard over the years is that Snapchat is difficult to understand or hard to use, and our team has been working on responding to this feedback,” Spiegel said. Snap shares were last trading down 10.9% at $13.46 a share.
