Twitter user growth stalled
Twitter investors were primarily unhappy with the company’s user growth, which stalled in the fourth quarter. The microblogging company’s total monthly active users (MAUs) were 320 million, unchanged from the previous quarter. Excluding SMS Fast Followers, the company’s MAUs were 305 million, lower than the 307 million MAUs in the third quarter.
During the quarter, Twitter achieved adjusted earnings of $0.16 per share, better-than the $0.12 per share expected by Wall Street analysts. The microblogging company’s revenue went up 48% to $710 million from $478 million in the year-ago quarter. Analysts expected Twitter to post $709.94 million.
Tesla issued a positive outlook for 2016
On the other hand, the shareholders of Tesla Motors disregarded its huge quarterly loss and sent the stock higher by 9.63% to $157.50 per share in after hours trading. The stock rebounded from a decline of 3.09% to $143.67 during the regular trading on Wednesday.
Tesla shareholders were pleased with the company’s positive outlook for 2016. The electric car manufacturer expected to be profitable and to deliver around 80,000 to 90,000 Model S and Model X vehicles this year. Its target was more than the 79,000 vehicles expected by Wall Street analysts.
The electric car manufacturer recorded a quarterly non-GAAP net loss of $114 million or $0.87 per share , worse than the $0.16 loss per share expected by analysts.
Tesla’s revenue rose 59% to $1.75, below the $1.79 billion consensus estimate for the quarter.
CEO Elon Musk said, “Tesla is approximately doubling its cumulative sales every year. I think that’s pretty exciting and unusual,” during a conference call with analysts and the media.
Musk is not worried about competition in the industry particularly from the all-electric Chevrolet Bolt, which has a similar price tag to the highly-anticipated $35,000 Model 3. Tesla expect to begin the production of Model 3 by the end of 2017.
