The 20,000 Foot View: Snap Inc’s release of its second quarter earnings has been met with negative reception from the financial sector, as the company’s            2017 financial results, which was below analyst revenue projections, led to a corresponding slump in its stock price. The increased financial scrutiny to which the company has been subjected to since its IPO in March 2017, has raised questions about the strategic wisdom of Snap Inc going public, rather than retaining the relative operational privacy of being a private company. However, in spite of wide concerns with Snap Inc’s quarterly performance, its revenue and daily active user base have continued to grow at a steady pace, with costs having declined significantly between            and            2017.
