Twitter (TWTR) Q2 Earnings In Line, Revenues Surge Y/Y

Twitter TWTR is a global platform that connects a user to a network of people, news, ideas, opinions and information. A user can tweet his/her take on any subject in real time, which can be retweeted by others. Tweets are limited to 280 characters.

Twitter uses an asymmetric follow model, which means that the relationships between users may not be reciprocal. The company enables users to search and discover content in which they are interested including tweets that may have attachments like links, media, photos and other applications.

Currently, Twitter has 336 Monthly Active Users (MAUs). Twitter is available on desktop (both Macintosh and PC) and across a wide range of mobile devices including Android, iOS and Blackberry. Additionally, tweets will now be indexed in Google search results as per a deal between the two entities.

Zacks Rank: Currently, Twitter has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) but that could change following its second-quarter 2018 earnings report which has just released. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
