This could have potential for a buyout or even a hostile takeover.
What is the typical premium paid for tech buyouts so I can buy some leaps?
Current market cap: 24.84B. If it's 20% then were looking at around 30B or about $18.29 share price. Linkdin went for $26.2B and I don't know anybody who used it so I think the premium for snapchat would be much higher.
In November 2016, the company filed documents for an initial public offering (IPO) with an estimated market value of $25–35 billion
In August 2017, Business Insider reported that Google discussed an offer to buy the company for $30 billion in early 2016
The stock price was about $13-$16 in 2017 similar to now. Maybe google takes another crack at it because they are stilted over having no social media footprint other than youtube which isn't very interactive.
Twitter and Snapchat are expected to generate $5.58 billion and $4.86 billion, respectively, in advertising revenue for 2022, with the combined value still less than the $11 billion projected for TikTok
Twitter went for 44B and I can't see snapchat going for less than twitter especially for similar ad revenue performance.
In 2023, the brand value of TikTok/Douyin amounted to 66 billion U.S. dollars.
44B/5.58B=$7.8 per $1 in ad revenue.
so
$7.8 x 4.86B=37.9B for snapchat.
So I would think the price tag would be around $45-$50 billion or a share price between $27-$30 per share. With google having a market cap: $1.698 Trillion they could force the issue and win the votes from shareholders and management in the current climate.
If buyout is $30 per share by July 2024
27 strike @ .41 will cost $4100 but return 30k
26 strike @ .47 will cost $4700 but return 40k
25 strike @ .55 will cost $5500 but return 50k
etc
