About a month after reporting earnings, Snapchat is warning it might not meet guidance.

Today's video focuses on Snap (SNAP 3.65%) and how it recently informed investors that it might report revenue below the low end of its Q2 2022 guidance range. Jose Najarro also discusses how this triggered a sell-off in other ad-tech companies. Meta Platforms (META -11.11%), Roku (ROKU 1.34%), and The Trade Desk (TTD -0.90%) are trading much lower today. Even though the market looks dark (or red), there might be some good news for long-term investors.
