The news check keeps the assessment current.

General analysis — not personal advice.

HOLD Partly clear

Wait for Q2 report on August 3 2026 before any increase

Mixed results with stronger profitability but weaker core operations and heightened regulatory risk support maintaining HOLD signal.

Market sentiment Negative ↓
Trend: Declining

Sentiment has turned more negative after the report, as weak ad growth and the decision to stop reporting DAU overshadow improved profitability.

Risk assessment High
Dilution: Medium Stock-based compensation but buyback program ongoing
Jurisdiction: Low Operations primarily in USA and Western Europe
Execution: High History of missed targets and challenging AR commercialization
Cash flow: 24 mo

HOLD is the call. Negative is the market mood. High risk means a lot can go wrong.
