The company’s new in-app camera feature strengthens its competitive position against the likes of Snapchat and Facebook’s Instagram. Twitter is also benefiting from strong growth in international markets and video advertisements. Growing adoption of video ad products like Video Website Cards & Video App Cards will drive the top line. Moreover, Twitter remains focused on live and is now exploring beyond just news. The series of live streaming deals are a step in that direction. Meanwhile, estimates have been stable ahead of the Q1 earnings release. The company has delivered positive earnings surprises in the recent quarters. However, its shares have underperformed the industry in the past year. Lack of revenue diversification is a major concern, as Twitter is significantly dependent on advertising." (4/16/2019)
