The S&P 500 futures are down 44 points and are trading 1.1% below fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are down 209 points and are trading 1.7% below fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 219 points and are trading 0.6% below fair value.
The negative disposition has been driven primarily by a warning from Snap (SNAP) that it expects its Q2 revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be below the low end of its prior guidance range as macro conditions have deteriorated faster and further than anticipated. The context behind that warning has weighed on investor sentiment from a broader standpoint and it has undercut a number of other social media stocks more directly that derive a large chunk of revenue from online advertising services. That includes names like Alphabet (GOOG), Meta Platforms (FB), Twitter (TWTR), and Pinterest (PINS).
Separately, a batch of mostly weaker than expected preliminary PMI readings for May out of the eurozone have added to concerns about slowing growth along with reports that Beijing is stepping up quarantine efforts to stop the spread of COVID.
