Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) reportedly stands to gain significantly if TikTok, a popular social media platform, is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43070367/kevin-oleary-warns-that-shutting-down-tiktok-would-hurt-6-million-small-businesses-in-america-that-rely-on-it-to-make-a-living">banned from U.S. app stores</a> this Sunday.
 What Happened: TikTok&#8217;s legal team warned that the app could &#8220;go dark,&#8221; cutting off access for existing users to view videos. Such a ban would significantly affect one of the largest social media platforms in the U.S., potentially freeing up billions in ad revenue and user engagement, according to an analysis by eMarketer on Friday, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tiktok-us-ban-how-meta-benefits-google-instagram-youtube-ad-2025-1">reported</a>&nbsp;Business Insider.
According to the analysis, TikTok raked in $12.34 billion in U.S. ad revenue in 2024. If the app faces a ban, an estimated $6.17 billion to $8.64 billion in ad spending could be redirected. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, stands to capture a significant share, potentially gaining between $2.46 billion and $3.38 billion in ad revenue.

Morgan Stanley analysts also predict that Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s company would emerge as the &#8220;largest fundamental winner of any TikTok ban,&#8221; leveraging its extensive user base and robust data capabilities. They estimate such a ban could boost Meta&#8217;s earnings per share by 5% to 9% in the 2026 fiscal year.
Instagram is projected to absorb a significant portion of the time U.S. users currently spend on TikTok. In 2024, TikTok users in the U.S. averaged nearly an hour daily on the app, with almost 75% also active on Instagram, according to EMARKETER.
While Meta is poised to gain the most, Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google&#8217;s YouTube and Snap Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) Snapchat could also benefit from TikTok&#8217;s absence.
Why It Matters: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a ruling on Friday that TikTok would be banned&nbsp;</a>in the country unless the parent company&nbsp;ByteDance&nbsp;sold off the American portion of the business. This decision is based on &#8220;well-supported national security concerns&#8221; regarding TikTok&#8217;s data collection practices and its relationship with a foreign adversary,
Ross Gerber, CEO of&nbsp;Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management, also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43050469/tesla-bull-ross-gerber-demands-tiktok-ban-calling-it-a-national-security-risk-amid-reports-that-elon-musk-may-buy-it">demanded a ban on TikTok</a>, calling it a &#8220;national security risk&#8221; amid reports that&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;may buy it.
Despite the uncertainty, the looming ban has already had an impact. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43049496/as-tiktok-faces-us-ban-vpn-searches-skyrocket-800-will-workarounds-work-experts-weigh-in">VPN searches have skyrocketed by 800%</a> as users seek workarounds, and TikTok has announced plans to cease operations in the U.S., although users can still download their personal data.

Benzinga Market Summary: Indexes Rise Ahead Of Trump Inauguration, Supreme Court Upholds TikTok Law, China Meets 2024 GDP Growth Target

Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) shares are trading lower on Friday despite the United States Supreme Court upholding the TikTok ban-or-sale law. Here&#8217;s what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration">you need to know</a>.
What To Know: The court, in a unanimous decision, ruled that the law does not violate Americans&#8217; First Amendment rights. To avoid the ban, TikTok would need to divest its U.S. assets, however, a sale appears unlikely.
With that, TikTok is <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/17/titktok-ban-supreme-court-decision-ruling/">set to be banned</a> in the U.S. come Jan. 19, a day before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Trump has previously stated that he will use his power to &#8220;save&#8221; TikTok once he takes office. Additionally, he requested that the Supreme Court postpone the TikTok ban until he assumes office which the court declined to grant.
Following the Supreme Court&#8217;s decision, Trump posted on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113844584193010573">Truth Social</a>, &#8220;The Supreme Court decision was expected, and everyone must respect it. My decision on TikTok will be made in the not-too-distant future, but I must have time to review the situation. Stay tuned!&#8221;
The enforcement of the law and its penalties for technology companies like Google and Apple, if they continue to allow TikTok on their app stores, ultimately rests with the U.S. Department of Justice. President Joe Biden has deferred the implementation of the law to the incoming Trump administration. Biden, last year, signed the law into effect after it received bipartisan support in Congress.
What Else: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has referred a complaint against Snap to the Department of Justice, according to Reuters. The FTC alleges that the company used an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that harmed users.
However, no specifics about the harm caused by the My AI chatbot have been provided by the government agency. Snap stated that it adheres to strict privacy standards and that the FTC lacks sufficient evidence.

Trump Adviser Says Incoming Administration Will Keep TikTok From Going Dark "As Long As A Viable Deal Is On The Table"

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) shares are trading lower Thursday following a report suggesting President-elect Donald Trump is considering an executive order to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43018125/trump-considers-executive-order-to-save-tiktok-from-being-banned-in-4-days">save TikTok from being banned in the U.S.</a>
What Happened: According to the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/01/15/trump-tiktok-ban-executive-order/">Washington Post</a>, Trump has been considering ways to save popular video sharing app TikTok from being banned in the U.S., including unconventional dealmaking methods and legal moves like a potential executive order that would suspend the TikTok ban-or-sale law for 60 to 90 days. 
"I have a warm spot in my heart for TikTok," Trump reportedly said last month.
TikTok is currently scheduled to be banned in the U.S. on Sunday, a day before Trump&#8217;s inauguration. People familiar with the matter said Trump has expressed interest in being viewed as the person who rescued the popular social media platform. 
Check This Out: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42957741/tiktok-ban-deadline-ahead-what-will-happen-to-app-on-your-phone">TikTok Ban Deadline Ahead: What Will Happen To App On Your Phone?</a>
President Joe Biden signed a law last year that requires TikTok owner ByteDance to sell the video sharing app by Jan. 19 or face an immediate ban in the U.S. over national security concerns. It&#8217;s not clear if Trump has the means to reverse the law.
Executive orders "are not magical documents. They're just press releases with nicer stationery," former national security adviser to the Justice Department Alan Rozenshtein reportedly said. 
"TikTok will still be banned, and it will still be illegal for Apple and Google to do business with them. But it will make the president's intention not to enforce the law that much more official."
Meta and Snap stand to benefit from a potential ban of TikTok as both companies operate similar video sharing platforms. If Trump were to issue an executive order to &#8220;save TikTok,&#8221; shares of competing social media platforms are likely to see some weakness.
META, SNAP Price Action: At the time of publication, <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/meta">Meta shares</a> were down 1.23% at $609.50 and Snap shares were down 4.14% at $11.35, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

<h2>Unveiling the Story Behind Snap</h2>
Snap is a technology company best known for its marquis social media application Snapchat, a visual messaging application that has amassed hundreds of millions of users. The app was initially only used to communicate with family and friends through photographs and short videos (known as "Snaps"). Users can now enjoy augmented reality, or AR, lenses, content from famous creators and celebrities, updates about local events, and more. Although the app offers a paid subscription option with premium features, advertising sales produce most of the app's revenue. The firm also sells wearable devices called AR Spectacles, which can capture photos and videos overlayed with AR lenses, but these make up a small portion of Snap's overall sales.
<h3>Snap's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a smaller scale relative to peers. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.
Revenue Growth: Snap's revenue growth over a period of 3 months has been noteworthy. As of 30 September, 2024, the company achieved a revenue growth rate of approximately 15.48%. This indicates a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the company achieved a growth rate higher than the average among peers in Communication Services sector.
Net Margin: Snap's net margin surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive -11.16% net margin, the company effectively manages costs and achieves strong profitability.
Return on Equity (ROE): Snap's ROE falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in efficiently using equity capital. With an ROE of -7.17%, the company may face hurdles in generating optimal returns for shareholders.
Return on Assets (ROA): Snap's ROA is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of -2.04%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial returns.
Debt Management: Snap's debt-to-equity ratio surpasses industry norms, standing at 1.92. This suggests the company carries a substantial amount of debt, posing potential financial challenges.
<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
