The management team at Snap Inc. minced no words May 23, saying “the macroeconomic environment has deteriorated further and faster than anticipated.” That led the company to say it will miss the low end of its month-old guidance for second-quarter revenue.
Those words sent Snap’s /zigman2/quotes/205087158/composite SNAP +5.11% shares tumbling — they were down 41% in late-morning trading May 24.
Snap’s warning also helped lead to declines for 90% of the S&P 500 /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX +1.30% . (S&P Dow Jones Indices has kept SNAP out of its stock indexes because of its multiple share-class structure.)

Among the 11 sectors of the S&P 500, communications services was the worst performer with a 5.6% decline, while the full index was down 2.2%.
Another sign of investors’ flight to safety was purchase volume that pushed the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes /zigman2/quotes/211347051/realtime BX:TMUBMUSD10Y 0.00% down 13 basis points to 2.74%.
