On August 31, Snap Inc rose 5.34% in pre-market trading, trading at $5.73/share, with turnover of $2.47 million.

The rebound comes as the market digested details of Meta Platforms' landmark settlement with 29 U.S. states over allegations of social media harm to teenagers. Meta agreed to pay up to approximately $16.7 billion to $18 billion and implement youth protection measures on its platforms. Snap Inc had previously fallen 5.1% on the initial settlement announcement amid fears that similar litigation could extend to industry peers. As investors reassessed the broader implications, sentiment toward the social media sector has stabilized, with legal risk concerns moderating.

Fundamentally, Snap Inc reported solid Q2 results earlier this month, with revenue growing 19% year-over-year to $1.6 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $249.6 million significantly beating the consensus estimate of $188.8 million. The company also guided Q3 revenue of $1.7 billion to $1.74 billion, above analyst expectations, supported by World Cup advertising tailwinds and broader ad business recovery, providing underlying support for the stock.
