Snap

Like most tech stocks, shares of Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) have gotten a boost since the beginning of the year. The stock is up nearly 22% so far in January. Over the past 12 months, however, shares are down more than 61%. The company faces stiff competitive challenges from TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Meta Reels in the short-form video space, and no one expects Snap to emerge on top. Toss in Netflix’s ad-supported tier, which reported big numbers earlier this month, and Snap could be in deep trouble.

Snap stock is covered by 42 brokerages. Analysts are cautious, with 31 having a Hold rating and eight with a Buy or Strong Buy rating. At a share price of around $11.00, the stock trades above its median price target of $10.00 is 62%. At the high price target of $27.00, the upside potential is 145%.
