Snap Tops Q1 Expectations with 12% Revenue Growth and Cost Cuts While Settling Major Lawsuit Snap reported Q1 2026 revenue growth of 12% year over year, with adjusted EBITDA more than doubling to US$233 million and earnings of US$0.10 per share versus expectations of US$0.09.
Daily Active Users increased 5%, supported by stronger international performance, particularly in Europe, and contributions from small and medium business advertisers plus subscription products such as Snapchat+ and Lens+.
Snap, alongside YouTube and TikTok, reached an undisclosed settlement in a high-profile school district lawsuit over social media addiction, while Meta remains the only major platform yet to settle similar claims.
The company outlined a plan to cut over US$500 million in annual costs in the second half of 2026, while also highlighting augmented reality efforts such as Specs glasses, even as it remains unprofitable and guides to flat revenue for Q2.
Taken together, the earnings beat, user growth and cost-cut plan show management is focused on improving profitability, but flat Q2 revenue expectations and ongoing competition from larger rivals keep the business under pressure.
The legal settlement helps reduce one source of uncertainty, yet broader regulatory and litigation risks around youth safety and platform design remain an important factor to watch. Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • May 14

Anapol Weiss Files Lawsuit Against Roblox Corporation, Discord Inc., and Snap Inc. Alleging Platforms Enabled Sexual Exploitation of Minor Anapol Weiss had filed a federal lawsuit against Roblox Corporation, Discord Inc., and Snap Inc. The plaintiff, a now 15 year old from North Carolina, was targeted across multiple platforms due to design features that allowed adults to identify and contact her. The complaint contends that design features across all three platforms created openings that allowed predators to identify and exploit a minor. According to the publicly filed complaint, the child was first approached on Roblox by an adult predator who used the platform’s communication tools to gain access to her. He then coerced her into sending sexually explicit images of herself on Discord. The complaint further describes how a second predator located her on Snapchat, where he ultimately drugged and sexually assaulted her multiple times. The complaint states that the abuse was a direct consequence of design choices that allowed adults to easily identify, contact, and manipulate children across multiple platforms. The companies publicly promoted their platforms as safe for young users while declining to implement basic, widely available protections. Instead, the complaint asserts, each platform incorporated features that enabled adult–minor contact and prioritized user growth and engagement over the safety of children. A common pattern is highlighted across the platforms: permissive communication tools, ineffective age-verification, and features that connect minors with unknown adults. Internal concerns about safety, the complaint claims, were overshadowed by business considerations, including the potential impact of stronger protections on user engagement and growth. The complaint describes profound and lasting harm to the minor, including severe psychological trauma, and the need for ongoing medical and therapeutic care. This lawsuit is part of a broader effort by Anapol Weiss, which has filed 22 cases against these companies and serves in a leadership role in the centralized federal litigation—now comprising well over 100 filed cases—alleging that Roblox, Discord, and Snap enabled sexual exploitation of children through dangerous platform designs. Anapol Weiss has been at the forefront of litigation involving online child exploitation and represents individuals and families nationwide in cases involving corporate negligence and product safety. The firm was among the first in the nation to bring claims against major gaming platforms related to child safety and continues to play a leading role in these cases.

Baron & Budd Represents California Counties in Public Nuisance Lawsuits Against Social Media Companies Baron & Budd filed public nuisance lawsuits against social media companies Meta, Snap, Google, YouTube, and TikTok. The lawsuits, filed on behalf of the people of the state of California in San Diego, Sacramento, and Del Norte Counties, allege that the defendant social media companies have created a public nuisance and health crisis among minors who have developed compulsive and addictive behaviors due to social media algorithms and user interface design intended to create repetitive uses. According to the lawsuit, the social media companies strategically and intentionally implemented behavioral and neurobiological techniques responsible for addictive behavior in the development of their platforms knowing that children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the addictive effects. The extensive complaint cites scientific research, including studies concealed by the defendants, that connect the intentional design of the platforms to the growing youth mental health crisis that is gripping the nation. The complaint alleges resulting effects of the addictive designs of the social media platforms have created extraordinary profits for the companies, but also caused alarming increases in anxiety, depression, and suicide rates for youths. The counties filing the lawsuits assert that the defendants’ conduct has created a public nuisance among the counties’ youth that requires abatement including but not limited to, funding for programs, services, and educational outreach. The lawsuits seek to hold the social media companies accountable for their role in creating or contributing to a public nuisance and enjoin them to stop their harmful actions while also seeking injunctive relief and abatement to fund education and addiction treatment. The cases were filed by the law firms Baron & Budd, Diab Chambers, Wagstaff & Cartmell, Beasley Allen, and Goza & Honnold. Aankondiging • Jan 08
