About the Lawsuit

Snap and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. 

On August 10, 2017, Snap disclosed disappointing Q2 results including ongoing lower-than-expected growth in daily active users (“DAU”), a key user engagement metric. During the earnings conference call, the Company admitted to using “growth hacking” or sending push notifications to users to stoke their access levels, and hence boost user metrics.

On this news, the price of Snap’s shares plummeted $1.94 per share, or approximately 14%.

The case is In Re Snap Inc. Securities Litigation , No. 2:17-cv-03679.
