"Snap's advertising revenue grew just 5% to $1.48 billion, with CEO Evan Spiegel indicating a strategic pivot towards profitable growth amid weak pricing power."

Meta Platforms reported a 33.08% revenue increase driven by AI ad pricing, with significant growth in ad impressions and daily active users. In contrast, Snap's advertising revenue grew only 5%, relying on subscriptions for profit. Meta's aggressive investment in AI infrastructure contrasts with Snap's cautious approach, including a $500 million buyback and limited capital expenditures. While Meta's results reflect strong advertiser demand, Snap's pivot towards profitable growth highlights its challenges in pricing power and operational discipline.
