Meta Platforms Inc META shares are trading lower in Thursday's after-hours session in sympathy with Snap Inc SNAP, which reported worse-than-expected financial results.

The social media company reported a quarterly loss of 2 cents per share, which missed the estimate for a loss of 1 cent per share. Daily active users increased 18% year-over-year to 347 million.
