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 reported impressive second-quarter 2019 results. The company’s initiatives to add new features and focus on effectively tackling abuse issues helped it expand monetized user base. Initiatives like detection of rule violations, including hateful content on the basis of religion, resulted in an 18% drop in reports of spammy or suspicious behavior across all Tweet detail pages. Moreover, strong demand for video ad products like Video Website Cards and in-stream pre-roll is a positive. The company is also expected to benefit from an expanding live-streaming content portfolio, owing to partnerships with the likes of Viacom, Live Nation, the NFL, ESPN, Bleacher Report, MLS, Activision Blizzard, The Wall Street Journal and TIME. Notably, shares have outperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis." (8/1/2019)
- 2. SunTrust Banks, Inc. analysts commented, "We maintain a Hold rating and a $34 PT on TWTR ahead of its 1Q19 earnings due out 4/23, with results we expect to be in-line to slightly ahead of the Street. While positive growth in mDAUs bodes well for the company’s engagement and monetization over time, we remain neutral on TWTR due to 1) valuation that’s above its peer group, and which we find fair given the growth/margin profile of the business, 2) elevated Opex/Capex in FY19, which are likely to pressure margins ST, 3) competition for content, ad dollars, and user attention, 4) continued challenges around the health of the platform. Results Expected. Our 1Q19 estimates are slightly ahead of Street consensus with revenue/adj. EBITDA/EPS at $781M/$244M/$0.06 vs. FactSet consensus of $774M/$247M/$0.04. Recall that management provided a revenue guidance range of $715-775M." (4/22/2019)
