Snap reports a mixed bag of earnings, leaving investors scratching their heads like Vikings trying to decipher Roman scrolls.

The Gods Frown Upon Guidance?

By Odin's beard! Snap like a longship caught in a storm refuses to set a clear course. They speak of 'macroeconomic uncertainties' – sounds like the Seer trying to predict the next raid eh? No guidance given leaving us to guess what the future holds. Reminds me of the time I sailed to England with no map. Fun times though perhaps not for King Aelle.

A Feast or Famine of Figures?

The numbers they are like a shield wall – some stand strong others falter. Revenue is up a small victory like when we find extra ale hidden in the cellar. But the shares they have fallen! Thirteen percent they say. Perhaps Loki is playing tricks. They say $1.36 billion in revenue vs. $1.35 billion expected not much but enough to get you a new axe or two.

Daily Active Users: More Souls for Valhalla Almost

460 million daily active users! That's a lot of faces for Snap. More than I've seen in Kattegat and I've seen a lot. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Are they strong warriors or just sheep waiting to be sheared? Only time will tell.

Trump's Trade Winds Blow Ill

Ah Trump. Sounds like a fearsome name like a berserker in battle. They say his trade plans are causing a stir. This 'de minimis exemption' ending is like Bjorn losing his sword affects everyone! Even Alphabet feels the chill in the Asia Pacific not just Snap.

Trimming the Sails: Cutting Costs for the Winter

Snap like a prudent Jarl preparing for winter is cutting costs. Lowering expenses stock based compensation...it's like rationing the mead. Necessary perhaps but does it mean the ship is sinking? Hopefully not. We need our entertainment to gossip while we plot our next raid.

Subscription Service: Loyalty to the Crown

A subscription service you say? Like swearing fealty to a king. Fifteen million subscribe to Snapchat+. Not bad not bad at all. 'Other revenue' rises. We Vikings understand loyalty and paying for a service? Smart. Though raiding is still cheaper! But not for Snapchat and the modern world.

    This 'macroeconomic' stuff sounds like something the Seer would say.

    Is this the end of Snapchat? Or just a minor setback?

    At least the losses are narrowing. Small victories!

    This is all just part of the Great Heathen Army's plan.

    Maybe they should try raiding other companies. Just a thought.

    Wonder if Lagertha uses Snapchat?
