Twitter shares soar as revenues exceed expectations

On February 7, Twitter rose 16.36% per cent in Friday, despite a slower-than-expected increase in user growth, as quarterly revenues exceeded market expectations. Twitter released its fourth-quarter 2014 earnings in Thursday. Earnings reported that Twitter, when Jiying to $479.1 million trillion, exceeded market expectations, suggesting that the company has been able to get more advertising revenue even though users are growing less than expected. In the fourth quarter ended December 31, Twitter revenues were 479.1 million dollars, up 97% from the average market analyst's estimated 453.6 million trillion dollars, and the net loss narrowed to $125.4 million trillion, a net loss of 511.5 million dollars over a year earlier. Without the US GAAP, Twitter earned 0.12 dollars per share, above the average estimated $0.06 trillion by market analysts. Twitter's average monthly active user in the fourth quarter was 288 million, an increase of 20% per cent, but less than 23% in the previous quarter. Twitter's average monthly active audience is slower than market expectations. According to Bloomberg statistics, market analysts had averaged an average of 295 million subscribers in the fourth quarter of the month, up 22% per cent year-on-year. But according to a new study by market research firm GlobalWebIndex, Twitter currently has 157 million inactive users. Inactive users refer to people who have occasionally visited Twitter, but have not actively used Twitter services. GlobalWebIndex believes that the best measure of the actual participation of Twitter users is the sum of the number of active users and the number of unregistered visitors, that is, 459 million people. GlobalWebIndex points out that the experience of Twitter's not-logged visitors is not much different from the experience of active users, which is just the opposite of Facebook's. If users do not log on to Facebook, their user experience will be greatly compromised. After last year's revenue breakthrough of $1 billion trillion, Twitter is trying to show that the company has been able to make a profit. Dick Costolo, Twitter's chief executive who faces a series of problems such as declining user growth and management turmoil, has restructured the corporate management team and unveiled a series of new features in recent months.

"Over time, we have become increasingly convinced of the ability of Twitter to increase the number of users," said Doug Anmuth, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase, in an investor report released this week, Gees Ammus. We expect Twitter's advertising revenues to continue to grow strongly. "Friday to the Close, TwittEr shares rose 6.75 on the New York Stock Exchange in Thursday, or 16.36%, at $48.01.
