Discovery title that enjoyed a strong domestic run.The Brad Pitt-starrer "F1: The Movie", a high-octane Formula 1 racing drama produced by Apple and distributed by Warner Bros., became the actor’s highest-grossing film and helped draw moviegoers back into theaters.Did these major releases help revive the box office — and, in turn, lift theater chains?&nbsp;Let's take a closer look.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Rocky Ride Post COVID</h2>The COVID-19 pandemic kept theaters shuttered for much of 2020, with domestic box office receipts plunging more than 80%. Since then, the recovery has been uneven. Aggregate ticket sales remain below pre-pandemic levels despite sustained efforts by movie chains and studios to entice audiences back.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Domestic_Box_Office_in_billions_png_fc712e87e7.webp" alt="Domestic Box Office (in billions) .png">Data Source: Box Office Mojo*2025 data is for the period until Dec. 2PwC’s annual survey suggests U.S. gross ticket sales may not return to pre-pandemic levels by 2029, The Hollywood Reporter <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/box-office-revenue-below-pre-covid-2029-pwc-outlook-report-1236324470/">noted</a>. The firm forecasts that ticket revenue will reach $10.1 billion in 2025 and gradually rise to a potential $10.8 billion by 2029.Bart Spiegel, PwC global entertainment and media leader, reportedly said: “Unfortunately, this full recovery is unlikely within the forecast period. However, we project that by the end of 2029, the industry will be on the brink of a full rebound. In other words, 2030 may be the year global box office revenues return to pre-pandemic levels.”According to the analyst, growth in ticket sales is now more a function of higher ticket pricing than of increased footfalls. Theater chains have succeeded in pushing through the hikes with “enhanced infrastructure and facilities, technological advancements, and rising content costs.” According to Numbers.com, the average ticket price has <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.the-numbers.com/market/">increased</a> from $9.18 in 2019 to $11.31 in 2025.That said, theater chains are going all out to win audiences back&nbsp;and counter the pull of streaming giants. AMC CEO Adam Aron announced this week that his company is collaborating with Netflix to show the series finale of "Stranger Things 5" in 200 U.S. theaters on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.&nbsp;In early October, AMC rode the Taylor Swift hype by screening the singer's "The Official Release Party of A Showgirl” as a weekend-only movie.Still, theater attendance continues to face heavy pressure from streaming platforms.

New York-based IMAX boasts of providing the “most immersive film experience” through its high-resolution cameras, film formats, film projectors, and theaters. AMC stock, which had its heyday during the 2021 meme mania, is down a staggering 42% for the year.

In a note following Cinemark's Q3 results, JPMorgan highlighted the company's improving financial flexibility to reinvest in the business and return capital to shareholders, according to The Fly.On Stocktwits, retail investors are 'bearish' on IMAX,&nbsp;while feeling 'neutral' about AMC and Cinemark.Even during the November market sell-off, IMAX held up well, gaining nearly 10%, while Cinemark and AMC slid more than 6% and 11%, respectively.

(SNAP) will start verifying users’ ages in Australia this week, following the local government’s decision to ban social usage for users aged 16 years or under.Snap stock has lost nearly 30% this year, as the social media company suffers from competitive pressure, challenges with ad platform monetization and the inability to achieve profitability.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Regulatory Setback</h2>In a statement released on Saturday, the company said its users will be prompted to tap ‘Verify Your Age,’ and that the age can be verified through a connection with the Australian bank account, or with a government-issued identification card, or by taking a selfie, which its third-party service provider would use to estimate an age range.The move was to comply with Australia’s “Social Media Minimum Age Act,” which restricts the use of platforms it deems social media to those 16 years of age or older. The government has classified Snapchat as an “Age-Restricted Social Media Platform.The new law requires the lockdown of all users' accounts under 16 years, beginning Dec. 10.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Snap Disagrees</h2>Communicating its view, Snap said it strongly disagrees with Australia’s assessment, contending that it has always been a visual messaging app that connects its community with its closest friends and family.&nbsp;However, Snap said it will comply with the new regulation, as it always does with local laws in the countries where it operates. “However, disconnecting teens from their friends and family doesn’t make them safer — it may push them to less safe, less private messaging apps,” the company said. “We continue to advocate for more privacy-conscious solutions, such as mandating age verification at the device, operating system, or app store level.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Why It’s Important</h2>Snap’s shares received a boost earlier this month from the company’s announcement of a deal with artificial intelligence (AI) startup Perplexity and its better-than-expected third-quarter results.According to Global Statistics, the 13-17-year age group&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.theglobalstatistics.com/snapchat-global-users-statistics/?utm_source=chatgpt.com#google_vignette">accounted</a> for roughly 18% of its total user base globally.&nbsp;Snap stock is seen up about 1% in overnight hours, according to Yahoo Finance.

(TTD) stock has lost approximately 64% this year, despite the broader market and the tech sector posting solid gains. If sell-side estimates are any guide, the stock appears increasingly out of sync with its underlying fundamentals.The average analysts’ price target for&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/TTD">Trade Desk stock</a> is $62.81, according to Koyfin, implying roughly 50% upside from its Friday close.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Ails Trade Desk Stock</h2>The Trade Desk, an adtech platform, suffered steep single-day losses twice this year — once after its fourth-quarter results announcement in mid-February and again following its second-quarter earnings release in early August.The February pullback was due to the company’s subpar revenue performance for the fourth quarter. The downtrend that followed intensified with the Trump administration’s tariff announcement, which impacted the broader market, and stalled when the market bounced back from the tariff ravages. Meanwhile, the August sell-off was triggered by the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trade-desk-stock-sinks-after-2025-q2-print-retail-backs-adtech-company/chrVyVmRd3s">slower revenue growth</a> for the second quarter and its issuance of a soft third-quarter forecast. Traders also expressed worries over the Amazon rivalry and the departure of the company’s CFO.&nbsp;&nbsp;Amazon’s ad unit announced deals to integrate its platform with Disney and Roku, which many saw as a threat to Trade Desk’s market position. Trade Desk is a cloud-based, demand-side platform (DSP) that empowers advertisers to create, manage, and optimize digital advertising campaigns across various formats and devices.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Is Recovery On The Cards?</h2>The Trade Desk stock's technical chart presents a mixed signal. The relative strength index (RSI), a momentum indicator, suggests that the stock is trading in an oversold zone, indicating a potential rebound. However, the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), which moved above its shorter-term 50-day counterpart in early March, remains above it — a sign of bearishness.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Trade_Desk_1_year_chart_png_879317b26b.webp" alt="Trade Desk 1-year chart.png">Source: KoyfinIn a statement released along with the third-quarter earnings&nbsp;report, CFO Jeff Green said, “Our momentum continues to be fueled by new product innovations we’ve launched across our Kokai platform, which are helping the world’s leading brands unlock the full potential of data-driven advertising.”He also highlighted the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI).&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Wall Street Is Positioned On TTD</h2>Following the quarterly results, Benchmark upgraded Trade Desk stock to ‘Buy’ from ‘Hold,’ citing its view that the prior perceived industry growth hurdles were generally in the rearview, according to a summary of the note available on the Fly. Analysts from the firm believe that the company’s forward-chain innovations, including OpenPath, OpenAds, and Deal Desk, will be "critical differentiators driving significant AI efficiency gains,” countering concerns about commoditization.That said, the stock received a raft of price target cuts from analysts following the release of its third-quarter results. While RBC Capital Markets blamed the action on a contraction of peer multiples, Evercore ISI attributed the action to its belief that a linear path to a premium growth rate isn’t guaranteed.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Retail Sentiment Cools</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward Trade Desk stock tempered to ‘neutral’ as of early Monday from ‘bullish’ a day before, and the message volume tapered to ‘low’ levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:686/60;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_11_17_at_2_18_08_AM_png_8eb8659331.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-11-17 at 2.18.08 AM.png" width="686" height="60"><figcaption>TTD sentiment and message volume as of 2:15 a.m. ET, Monday | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>According to Koyfin Out of the 37 analysts covering the stock, 20 have either ‘Strong Buy’ or ‘Buy’ ratings, while 14 remain on the sidelines, with ‘Hold’ ratings, and the remaining three analysts rate it either a ‘Sell’ or ‘Strong Sell.’For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp; <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/warren-buffett-s-berkshire-makes-bold-bet-on-alphabet-s-ai-future/cLPkZMtREI9">Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Tilts Toward Big Tech Again — This Time With A Bold Bet On Alphabet’s AI Future</a>

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Snap is set to receive $400 million from Perplexity over a year, through a combination of cash and equity, beginning in 2026.</li><li>Daily active users (DAUs) increased 8% YoY to 477 million in Q3 and monthly active users (MAUs) climbed 7% to 943 million.&nbsp;</li><li>The company’s board approved a $500 million stock buyback program.</li></ul>Snapchat parent Snap, Inc.’s (SNAP) shares jumped nearly 15% in Wednesday’s extended session after the&nbsp;social media company announced a partnership with artificial intelligence (AI) startup Perplexity AI. Snap also reported better-than-expected quarterly results&nbsp;and announced a buyback program.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SNAP">Snap stock,</a> however, is down over 32% year-to-date.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Snap’s Perplexity Deal</h2>Santa Monica, California-based Snap said that through the partnership, Perplexity’s AI-powered answer engine will be directly integrated into Snapchat, beginning in early 2026. This gives “Snapchat’s community of nearly 1 billion monthly active users a new way to ask questions, explore topics they care about, and learn about the world,” the companies said.“Under the agreement, Perplexity will pay Snap $400 million over one year, through a combination of cash and equity, as we achieve global rollout. Revenue from the partnership is expected to begin contributing in 2026,” a statement read.CEO Evan Spiegel sees the partnership as fulfilling the company’s goal of making “AI more personal, social, and fun – woven into the fabric of your friendships, Snaps, and conversations.”Perplexity CEO Arvind Srinivas said, “Millions of people connect and discover the world through Snapchat. By bringing Perplexity to Snapchat, we’re able to serve that curiosity directly where it occurs.”The Perplexity partnership comes at a time&nbsp;when Snap is struggling with losses amid competition from larger peers and a less robust advertising environment. Incidentally, Perplexity had offered to buy Google’s Chrome, while it was feared that the search giant might have to divest the browser as part of an&nbsp;antitrust case. Google has since then been cleared to keep its browser.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Snap Q3 Results</h2>For the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025, Snap reported a net loss of $0.06 per share, narrower than the year-ago’s $0.09. Quarterly revenue climbed 10% year over year (YoY) to $1.51 billion. The results were better than the consensus estimates, which forecast a loss of $0.12 per share and revenue of $1.49 billion, according to Stocktwits. The revenue growth was aided by growth in direct response advertising revenue, underpinned by strong demand for its “Pixel Purchase” and “App Purchase”&nbsp;ad optimization&nbsp;tools, as well as continued strength from the small and medium business (SMB) segments, according to Koyfin’s transcript.The adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased to $182 million from $132 million, and the company generated free cash flow of $93 million compared to the $72 million in the year-ago quarter. Among user metrics, daily active users (DAUs) increased 8% YoY to 477 million, and monthly active users (MAUs) climbed 7% to 943 million.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Snap’s Capital Return To Shareholders</h2>The company said its board has authorized a stock buyback program worth up to $500 million. “The goal of the program is to utilize the company’s strong balance sheet to opportunistically offset a portion of the dilution related to the issuance of restricted stock units to employees as part of the overall compensation program designed to foster an ownership culture,” Snap said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Snap’s Q4 Outlook</h2>On the earnings call, CFO Derek Andersen said fourth-quarter revenue is expected to be between $1.68 billion and $1.71 billion, versus the Fiscal.ai-compiled estimate of $1.69 billion. He also flagged a modest sequential rise in infrastructure cost. It guided adjusted EBITDA to $280 million to $310 million. The company further lowered its full-year adjusted operating expenses guidance to the low end of its previous range of $2.65 billion to $2.7 billion.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Retail Feels About SNAP After Q3 Print</h2>Snap was among the top five trending equity tickers on Stocktwits as of late Wednesday, with retail sentiment toward the stock shifting to ‘extremely bullish’ from ‘bearish’ a day ago and the message volume over the 24 hours spiking by over 800%.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:682/60;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_11_05_at_10_23_23_PM_png_c3b72d5cce.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-11-05 at 10.23.23 PM.png" width="682" height="60"><figcaption>SNAP sentiment and message volume as of 10:20 p.m. ET, Nov. 5 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>A bullish watcher expressed satisfaction over the results, stating that “If they actually made some money, we’d be really going higher, but I’ll take it.”<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Illest_kid/message/635123736</stembedurl>Another user called it a “turnaround” quarter and said they expect the stock to open above $9 and reach $10 on Thursday.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Bobky2030/message/635123413</stembedurl>According to Koyfin, the average analyst price target for Snap stock is $9.23, implying over 26% upside from its Wednesday closing price.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/robinhood-delivers-pretty-solid-q3-but-stock-falls-after-hours/cL2t9TRREb9">Robinhood Delivers ‘Pretty Solid’ Q3, But Stock Falls After-Hours — CEO Tenev Praises Product Velocity, Retail Stays Upbeat</a>
