Snap (SNAP) Stock Could Be Undervalued Despite Specs Stake Sale Push

Simply Wall St · 3d ago

Snap Inc. has had a rough ride over the past few years, and with fresh attention on its augmented reality push, the real question now is whether the current share price lines up with what its sales can reasonably support.

  • Snap shares are down 88.5% over 5 years, which puts a lot of weight on whether the underlying revenue base can carry the valuation that remains.
  • The recent call from Blue Duck Capital Partners to raise about US$1b by selling a minority stake in the Specs AR unit may shift how investors think about funding needs and future revenue from that side of the business.
  • The analysts covering Snap have run their own numbers. See what analysts think Snap's shares could be worth.

For investors, the debate is whether Snap's current share price is justified by the sales it is already generating and what those sales suggest about future potential.

Is Snap Still Cheap on Sales?

P/S fits Snap because revenue is still the cleanest yardstick for a business that has focused more on building its user and ad base than on consistent profits. On that metric, the stock trades on a P/S of 1.7x, which is below both the broader Interactive Media and Services industry on 0.9x and the closer peer group on 2.2x.

That gap sits below what a tailored fair multiple model suggests for Snap, which points to the shares screening as undervalued on sales relative to the company’s own profile. Because the recent AR push and the proposed Specs stake sale have lifted interest in the story, the current discount on P/S means sentiment has firmed while the price still tags the business below what comparable firms command on this measure.
