Twitter Earnings Report: Market Waits For Ad Revenue, User Growth Confirmation

Twitter’s first post-IPO earnings report is due on the close of business today and, with the company’s stock up more than 150 percent above its IPO price and hovering bullishly not far from all-time highs, investors are eagerly awaiting something from Twitter that will justify its fairly loft valuation.

Two things to watch in this earnings report are signs of growth in overall ad revenues, and also a boost in total user base numbers.

Analysts have projected that Twitter’s quarterly revenue will more than double to $218 million but that the company’s losses will also mount, with a 2 cents per share loss forecast.
