Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) may be losing heaps of money, but the company behind the popular Snapchat app is growing fast. Second-quarter revenue soared 153% year over year to $181.7 million, while revenue through the first half of the year surged 200% to $331.3 million. This triple-digit growth makes the $18 billion market capitalization more palatable.
