Snap reports earnings after the Closing Bell Tuesday. CFRA's Director of Equity Research Scott Kessler explains his predictions for the social media company's quarterly report.
Wall Street is expecting quarterly revenue to generate about $253 million, and earnings per share loss of $0.16. Kessler says the key number he is watching for is user growth.
On whether report is a make or break moment for Snap, Kessler says not so fast. "There's a lot of work--a lot of wood that needs to be chopped so to speak. This is one in many quarters that the company is going to report," said Kessler.
Nestlé has dismissed its CEO Laurent Freixe after an investigation into an undisclosed relationship with a direct subordinate. The company announced on Monday that the dismissal was effective immediately. An investigation found that Freixe violated Nestlé’s code of conduct. He had been CEO for a year. Philipp Navratil, a longtime Nestlé executive, will replace him. Chairman Paul Bulcke stated that the decision was necessary to uphold the company’s values and governance. Navratil began his career with Nestlé in 2001 and has held various roles, including CEO of Nestlé's Nespresso division since 2024.
Kraft Heinz is splitting into two companies a decade after they joined in a massive merger that created one of the biggest food companies on the planet. One of the companies will include brands such as Heinz, Philadelphia cream cheese and Kraft Mac & Cheese. The other will include brands like Oscar Mayer, Kraft Singles and Lunchables. When the company formed in 2015 it wanted to capitalize on its massive scale, but shifting tastes complicated those plans, with households seeking to introduce healthier options at the table. Kraft Heinz's net revenue has fallen every year since 2020.
