批评 $SNAP 高管高薪与财务操纵,认为其基本面被低估。

中文翻译

$SNAP 股价接近历史低点 $6.7,尽管营收/利润在增长。原因如下: 其财务工程手段近乎犯罪。 Snapchat 是一家市值 115 亿美元的公司,拥有约 10 亿月活用户(MAU),Q3 调整后息税折旧摊销前利润(EBITDA) 约 1.32 亿美元。 然而: - $SNAP 过去 12 个月的股票薪酬(stock comp)是多少? 25 亿美元。是的,过去十二个月(TTM)高达 25 亿美元。当前年度约为 10.6 亿美元。 - Snap 正在举债进行回购,以支付高管薪酬。 - CEO 每年发放约 10 亿美元以上的基于股票的薪酬。这是一项非现金支出,从而“掩盖”了自由现金流(FCF)。 - 他们为此债务支付 6.875% 的利息,仅仅是为了确保高管薪酬不会导致股价崩盘。 结合 2026 年预计 8.2 亿 -9.5 亿美元的自由现金流(FCF)预测来看: Perplexity AI 交易:+3 亿 -4 亿美元 记忆功能变现(Memory Monetization):+2.4 亿美元(3% 日活用户(DAU)转化为 1.99 美元套餐) 记忆功能运营支出(OpEx)削减:+3000 万美元 利息支出:(1.5 亿 -1.8 亿美元) 基准值:~4 亿美元 这看起来简直荒谬。 他们只需要高管不再自我支付数十亿美元,基本面就会看起来像一家 200 亿美元以上的公司(约 21 倍估值)。这是一家具有巨大变现潜力的增长型社交媒体公司。 我原本在做多头头寸的尽职调查(DD),但目前,这种结构看起来就像是从散户向 $SNAP 高管转移财富,同时不断以“留住人才”为由每年支付 10 亿美元以上。 本周财报电话会议中,我将重点关注股票薪酬结构。

英文原文

$SNAP is close to all time lows at $6.7, despite growing revenues/profit. Here's why: The financial engineering looks criminal. Snapchat is a $11.5B company that has ~1B MAU with Q3 adjusted EBITDA ~$132M. However: - $SNAP stock comp for the last 12M? $2.5 Billion. Yes $2.5 Billion TTM. The current yearly is closer to $1.06 Billion. - Snap is going into debt to do buy-backs from executive pay. - The CEO issued ~$1B+ in annual stock based compensation annually. This is a non-cash expense that "hides" FCF. - They are paying 6.875% interest on that debt just to make sure the executive pay doesn't tank the stock price. When you couple that with projections even est. $820M – $950M FCF for 2026. Perplexity AI Deal: +$300M - $400M Memory Monetization: +$240M (3% DAU conversion to $1.99 plan) Memory OpEx Cuts: +30M Interest: ($150M - $180M) Baseline: ~$400M This just looks insane. All they need to do is have executives not pay themselves billions and the fundamentals look like a $20B+ company (~21x multiple). This is a growing social media company that has tremendous potential for monetization. I was doing more DD into long positions, but currently, this structure just looks like a transfer of wealth from retail to $SNAP executives with continuous claims of "keeping talent" for $1B+ a year. My eyes are on stock compensation structures for this week's earnings call.
