Details of Allegations

Specifically, it manipulated the narrative around the company's advertising revenue growth, which showed a dramatic fall-off during the first half of the fiscal year.
Concerning Revenue Figures
In their announcements, Snap abruptly reported a slowdown in advertising revenue, indicating that it decreased significantly. The decline, as stated in the lawsuit, moved from a 9% growth rate to just 1% within a few months, a striking downturn that caught many investors off guard.
Significant Financial Disclosure
August 5th was a pivotal date when Snap disclosed its second quarter financial results for the fiscal year, revealing a concerning trend in revenue generation. The company attributed this decline to issues related to their advertising platform, alongside external factors like Ramadan timings impacting revenues.
