Twitter shares soar after reporting strong user numbers and miss on earnings

for its fourth quarter of 2019 Thursday that missed analyst estimates for earnings per share but beat revenue and active user expectations.Earnings per share:$1.01 billion vs. $996.7 million expected, according to Refinitv147.5 million total expected, according to FactSet and StreetAccount

Twitter said it expects stock-based compensation expenses for fiscal year 2020 to fall between $425 million and $475 million and capital expenditures to fall between $775 million and $825 million. The company plans to build a new data center and grow headcount by 20% during the year, which would be about 960 employees on top of the 4,800 it said it employed by the end of 2019.

Twitter said the issues around its ad targeting and measurement resulted in a dip of at least four points in year-over-year growth in total global revenue in Q4, which it said was in line with its previous outlook. Twitter said total ad engagements grew 29% in the quarter driven by improved clickthrough rates and increased impressions due to audience growth. Cost per engagement fell 13% due in part to a shift to video ad formats, which Twitter said have lower CPEs.

Then remove the bully-in-chief

Didn’t twitter just ban JamesOKeefeIII ? Banned him for being a reporter that reported actually reality?

why is the cnbc guy saying you can't improve people? you can help people improve themselves, can't you?

Banning everyone they disagree with 'improves the health of the conversation'?

trump is still on it so not that much

Decentralization is not a thing of the future, it’s happening. However, on this scale, I’m keen to see how it will work

They banned zerohedge because of a news report on the doctors in China and the coronavirus

If wasnt for twitter wouldnt able pretend was being heard delusional theory chronicle tooling feeling actual value society truth hurts staring at wall drunk alone broke broken no real means nor provide better quailty of life reality match I would like sincerely jack thanks

They've done a great job, unlike Facebook with their infantile CEO. Give credit where credit is due.

Curious if Twitter actually employes a team to determine what healthy conversation is. If so, how they do so? transparency publicforum freespeech implications.
