Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) is set to print its fourth-quarter financial results after the markets close on Tuesday. The stock was trading about 4% higher heading into the event.

Analysts expect Snapchat's parent company to report earnings of 11 cents per share on revenues of $1.3 billion for the quarter ending Dec. 31.

Ahead of the earnings print, two analysts have weighed in on Snap:

Credit Suisse analyst Stephen Ju maintained an Outperform rating and lowered the price target from $17 to $16 on Jan. 25.

OTR Global downgraded Snap from Positive to Mixed on Jan. 18.

When Snap printed its third-quarter earnings report on Oct. 20, the stock plunged almost 24% the next day to hit a new 52-week low of $7.33.

For that quarter, Snap reported earnings of 8 cents per share on revenues of $1.128 billion, beating the estimate of a loss of 1 cent per share on revenues of $1.12 billion. The negative earnings reaction was likely because the company didn’t provide fourth-quarter guidance.

From a technical perspective, Snap looks bullish heading into the event, having traded in a uptrend pattern since Dec. 20. Of course, holding a position in a stock over earnings can be akin to gambling, as stocks can rise following an earnings miss and fall after reporting a beat.
