Snap reports its holiday-quarter results on Tuesday, and investors will likely be hoping against hope for some good news from CEO Evan Spiegel and his team.
The company's stock is down by nearly 50% over the last year and has fallen even farther from its initial public offering price two years ago. Its number of daily active users has fallen in each of the last two quarters. It's been burning through loads of cash. And it keeps losing executives, most recently Chief Financial Officer Tim Stone, who is set to depart after Tuesday's report.
Analysts have modest expectations for the company's fourth quarter, forecasting that Snap's top and bottom lines will improve, but that the company will still post a significant loss.Read this: Snap's stock has been 'very weak.' Here's what analysts think ahead of earnings.
