Snap forecast a rosy picture for the second quarter, saying it expects revenue between $1.23 billion and $1.26 billion. The guidance beat analyst expectations of $1.22 billion.

Daily active users of Snapchat grew to 422 million during the first quarter, beating analyst expectations of 419.6 #million.
