The stock market can be a lucrative place to invest, but it’s not an easy one to navigate. Many investors face a constant struggle to predict which stocks will be the most profitable, and which ones should be avoided. To complicate matters, there are a variety of factors that come into play when determining a stock’s worth.
One tool that can help investors make informed decisions about stocks is the Bollinger Band. This technical indicator, created by technical analyst John Bollinger, is a volatility indicator that can help identify when a stock moves outside of its range, and might provide an indication of a potential opportunity.
Recently, Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAPS) saw its stock price move outside the Bollinger Bands, a move that could indicate an interesting opportunity for investors. The company’s share price moved close to its two-year high, which could indicate a strong position for the company.
Snap Inc. was founded in 2011 with the launch of Snapchat, now one of the largest social media networks in the world, as well as Spectacles, a video capturing glasses. As of September 2020, the company had more than 210 million daily active users, and continues to experience strong user growth in 2021.
The company has also recently launched a number of new features, such as content creation tools, commerce capabilities, and a news feed-style feature called ‘Discover’, which could help the company even further as it looks to build out its user base.
It has also invested heavily in virtual reality and augmented reality, an area with potentially huge growth potential. One of its most popular moves in this area was its 2017 acquisition of the AR start-up, Zenly.
Snap, Inc. also recently announced that it had entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with The Walt Disney Company in October 2020, further diversifying its income stream. This licensing agreement gives Snap access to a broad selection of Disney movies and other content for its users.
Given this strategic move by the company, as well as its strong user growth, it is no surprise that Snap’s latest move outside the Bollinger Band has attracted the attention of some investors.
For those interested in taking advantage of this potential opportunity, it is important to keep in mind that the stock market is a volatile place and any investment should be made with caution. It is also important to remember that investing in a stock always carries a certain degree of risk and investors should research the company properly before investing.
