Product placement

Snapchat (SNAP) ACTS: It is a publicly traded company whose stock performance is analyzed. Removing it would change the video's topic. TMS (The Market Standard) APPEARS: It is the creator's watermark/brand. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Original caption

Snap ($SNAP) traded near $73 a share in August 2021, close to its all-time high of $83.11 reached that September. Five years later, the stock trades around $5.30 — a decline of roughly 93%. A hypothetical $10,000 investment at the 2021 price would be worth approximately $700 today, before fees or taxes. The decline comes despite Snap reporting 971 million monthly active users last quarter, illustrating the gap between user growth and shareholder returns that’s plagued the company since its 2017 IPO.
