Kyle Smith's Contributor Page


Last Updated: July 26, 2020 (Prior to the 2Q2020 earnings release).​
View: Bullish
Model Description: 
For the purposes of this high-level forecast, the primary drivers examined are COVID-19, Monthly Active Users (MAUs), and Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). More specifically, these three drivers are studied based on geographic significance, thus providing more insight into the company. In addition, other considerations included are advertising boycotts, R&D changes, the partnership with Jio, the effective tax rate, and stock buybacks. Although the short-term outlook is relatively bearish, the company's strong financials and continued investment in its future make it a bullish long-term play.​..click here to continue reading
