(META)In a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/jimcramer/status/2008459717333369099">post</a> on the X platform, Cramer stated that Investors are increasingly focused on “power gating,” a strategy that limits energy usage and forces firms to prioritize efficiency over scale at any cost.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_01_06_052906_png_fcefeacef4.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-06 052906.png"><h2 class="st-heading-2">Power Gating In Data Centers&nbsp;</h2>As electricity demand continues to grow, data centers are under pressure to control how much power they use. One effective approach is power gating, which means turning off IT equipment when it is not needed. Using this method helps reduce wasted energy, cut operating expenses, keep hardware working longer, and contribute to overall sustainability efforts.According to Cramer, the concept helps steer companies away from unchecked spending toward tighter discipline. The result could be slower construction of massive server farms but stronger margins for companies that adapt quickly.Cramer remarked that the dynamic marks a cooling of the once-frenzied race to build ever-larger data centers, especially as electricity availability and infrastructure limits become more pressing. While demand for advanced chips remains intact, hyperscale projects may no longer dominate capital spending plans.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Meta Platforms Will Benefit</h2>Meta can gain comparatively as it can afford to slow its infrastructure spending without falling behind on its AI goals, while its competitors, including OpenAI, won't be able to match a large-scale buildout without trimming expenses.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_01_06_054707_png_465cdf6989.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-06 054707.png"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/META">Meta’s stock</a> inched 0.2% lower in Tuesday’s premarket.

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.

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.

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.

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>
