Wells Fargo Expectations

“FB results [are] likely to be bolstered by continued marketer migration to video and Dynamic Ads and SNAP strength [is] likely to draw from pent-up marketer demand to test Snap’s relatively new ad capabilities as well as broadening availability of Snap Ads via the company’s advertising application programming interface,” said senior Wells Fargo analyst Peter Stabler.

Wells Fargo is maintaining $7.8 billion in revenue for Facebook, representing a 46 percent year-over-year increase. Analysts are upbeat about the company’s increasing investments in video content through revenue sharing and content licensing deals.

Snap’s first conference earnings call will be crucial for analysts to get some color on the company’s market opportunity, strategy, and competition according to Wells Fargo. Currently, the bank’s first-quarter revenue forecast is 8 percent above the Street consensus.
