CNBC's Jim Cramer gives his first take on Snapchat's surprise earnings beat. Subscribe to CNBC PRO for access to investor and analyst insights: Shares of tech companies in the advertising space rose Wednesday after Snap’s third-quarter results signaled strength in the ad market after a difficult year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Shares of Snap closed up more than 28% Wednesday as investors continued to rally around the company’s unexpected third-quarter earnings beat and strong advertising momentum. Shares in tech companies Pinterest, Facebook, Google-parent Alphabet and Twitter were also up.
Deutsche Bank analysts wrote in a Tuesday note Snap’s results implied a “bonanza for online advertising.”
Snap Chief Business Officer Jeremi Gorman said Tuesday the company saw positive momentum in the ad market, including in brand advertising, which was weak during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Snap’s ad revenue growth was 52% year-over-year.
“We saw the beginnings of a recovery from brand advertisers, and continued resilience from direct response advertisers, reinforcing our confidence in the long-term positioning of our business,” Gorman said on the company’s earnings call.
Deutsche Bank analysts said the results bode well for companies in the online ad space, and especially for Twitter, because of Snap’s comments on the acceleration of spend on the brand side.
