Snapchat 'files for stock market float'
Amwal Al Ghad Published in Amwal Al Ghad on 17 - 11 - 2016

Snap, the parent company of messaging app Snapchat, has filed to list on the US stock market, according to several reports.
Based on investments so far, the California-based firm would be worth between $20bn and $25bn (£16bn-£20bn).
That would make it the largest US flotation since Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba listed two years ago.
Snapchat's parent company Snap declined to comment on the reports to the BBC.
Young audience
The company began in 2012 as a mobile app that allowed users to send photos that vanish within seconds.
It now has 100 million daily users, which is more than Twitter.
And with 60% of its users aged between 13 and 24, it is seen as an appealing way for advertisers to reach young people.
Snap's founder, 26-year-old Evan Spiegel, turned down an offer from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to buy Snapchat for $3bn just three years ago.
If it goes ahead, it would be the biggest US technology flotation since Facebook's $81bn launch in 2012.
According to several reports, Snapchat has filed a confidential application for an initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The US Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act allows companies with less than $1bn in revenue to secretly file.
The idea is that firms can test the appetite among investors, while keeping their finances confidential.
