Snap Stock Dips 2.38% as $1.18B Volume Ranks 65th in U.S. Markets

On September 24, 2025, Snap Inc. (SNAP) closed with a 2.38% decline, trading with a daily volume of $1.18 billion that ranked 65th among U.S. stocks. The move followed mixed market sentiment toward the social media giant’s recent strategic shifts and user growth metrics.

Analysts noted that Snap’s stock performance was influenced by investor caution regarding its monetization strategies in emerging markets. Recent reports highlighted the company’s focus on expanding AR advertising capabilities, though some questioned the scalability of its current ad formats. Additionally, macroeconomic headwinds, including rising interest rates, weighed on growth-oriented tech stocks like Snap.

To run this study properly, a daily-rebalanced portfolio would need to hold the 500 U.S. stocks with the highest trading volume each day, closing positions the following day. The back-test engine can evaluate resulting daily returns once ticker lists for each date are prepared. However, creating such a ranking requires clarifying two parameters: the universe definition (e.g., all U.S. common stocks, S&P-500 constituents) and weighting rules (equal-weight vs. market-cap/volume-weighted). Default assumptions include selecting all U.S. stocks with at least $500 million market cap and 30 trading days of history, using equal weighting (1/500) rebalanced daily. Adjustments to these criteria can be made upon request.
