Snap is up 6.33% as of 10:23 a.m EST, having gained roughly 1.7% on March 21.

The company just received its second "Buy" rating from Wall Street analysts, with investment banking firm Drexel Hamilton putting a $30 price target on the stock. Snap previously had one "buy" rating, five "hold" ratings, and six "sells."

Drexel Hamilton said:

"We view Snap as a platform for the imagination that unlocks the creativity of its users and allows uninhibited expression with friends. Snap is a fun place to spend time which can be monetized."
