ter. Compared with Facebook, Snap, Pinterest and other peers, the gap between Twitter users will only get bigger and bigger. The company can only hope for the recovery of popular sports events and product improvement to improve user participation. Long-term investors want to see the company's new successful monetization methods and efforts. Just recently, Twitter launched two major subscription services: Early June: Twitter launched "Twitter Blue", which is a subscription service for content creators. Subscribers will be allowed to withdraw tweets, and can set a customizable timer of up to 30 seconds to withdraw tweets in time when they need to be modified. In mid-June, Twitter launched the long-rumored "Super Concern" function, which adopts paid subscription, and paid users can view the exclusive tweets of stars who have opened "Super Concern". In addition, India's restrictions on Twitter and Nigeria's ban have added some uncertainty to international users. After all, India is one of its top five markets, and Nigeria has about 40 million Twitter accounts, but this is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the future direction of the company. Looking forward to the second half of the year, Twitter is a typical event-driven media platform. With the gradual recovery of large-scale sports events, such as the European Cup, the Olympic Games and the 2022 World Cup, it will support the activity of users to some extent. After the epidemic, it is a rare "honeymoon period" for Twitter. In addition, in the first quarter, the change of advertising identifier (DFA) on Apple iOS platform did not bring pressure to the advertising of this platform, and the impact will gradually appear in the second quarter. Thursday $Snap Inc(SNAP)$ Snap is undoubtedly the leader of social platforms, and its revenue has maintained a high growth rate of more than 60% for two consecutive quarters, which greatly exceeded analysts' expectations. The growth rate of revenue and daily active users in the last quarter reached a new high in three years. Bloomberg unanimously expects Snap's second-quarter revenue to be 844.9 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 30%; Under Non-GAAP, EBITDA was US $1.8 million, which turned positive for the first time. The advantage of Snap lies in its attraction to the younger generation of users. "Millennials" and "Generation Z" are the core user groups of Snap, and the high stickiness of young groups promotes the DAU to increase by 22% year-on-year to 280 million in the first quarter. In the second quarter, due to the high base last year, the growth rate of users declined. Bloomberg expects DAU to increase by 14% year-on-year to 290.6 million in the second quarter. In terms of regions, Snap users have expanded faster in other parts of the world except the United States. Now, the number of Snap users in other parts of the world has exceeded the number of users in the United States, which has become the main contributor to the growth of users. Whether the growth of international users can continue is also a major attraction in the second quarter. It is worth noting that the average revenue per user (ARPU) of Snap in other parts of the world is only 16% of that of ARPU in the United States, which has great room for improvement, reflecting the potential of Snap monetization overseas. In terms of valuation, the market selling rate of Snap is 25 times. Compared with Pinterest, which is 16 times, the price of Snap is definitely not cheap. Despite the increasingly fierce competition from peers for user time and advertising, Snap, with its loyal user base and continuous product innovation, will promote the expansion of profit margin in the global monetization process, and finally achieve long-term profit.lg...
