Why Snap Shares Are Falling Today

Snap Inc SNAP shares are trading lower Tuesday after Credit Suisse cut its price target on the social media stock.

Credit Suisse analyst Stephen Ju maintained Snap with an Outperform rating and lowered the price target from $77 to $59, citing lower revenue and earnings expectations.

Ju noted that Snap has higher exposure to weaker consumer categories and minimal exposure to travel, which is where consumer spending has increased. The Credit Suisse analyst anticipates some of Snap's investor base moving to larger platforms amid the uncertain macro environment, driven by geopolitical tensions.
