Ambastha” and “What Caught Our Attention in the Investment World? – Week of January 13-17, 2020; By Kuldip K. Ambastha and Anil K. Ambastha.”) This stock price plunge was the biggest one-day decline ever for Snap, and also led to negative price action on other publicly traded social media company names. Snap has cut its revenue and profit forecasts, since its advertising business will suffer if forecasts for a weaker economy going forward come true. Because of the challenges Snap is facing, new staff in 2022 will be less than what was seen in 2021, pre-existing staff will be expected to improve productivity, and a comprehensive spending review will be administered.
