What are Wall Street analysts saying about Twitter stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Twitter stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Twitter’s initiative to make the platform more user friendly by bringing in new features and content to its platform is expected to drive growth. The company has already included features to make tweeting easier and allows users to be more expressive. Moreover, it is tightening security capabilities that are expected to boost engagement levels. This also bodes well for advertisers. The company is also benefiting from strong growth in international markets and video advertisements. Shares have outperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis. However, slowing user growth rate amid increasing competition for ad dollars from much larger players like Facebook and Google doesn’t bode well for the stock in the near term." (11/17/2018)
