Boston, MA 02\/06\/2014 (wallstreetpr) –\u00a0Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) <\/b>it appears is taking a rough beating over poor performing metrics, ill-timed comparison to peer Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB)<\/b> and post-public issue exuberance.<\/p>\n
Back in November of 2013, when Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) proposed to go with a Initial Public Offering, the expectations were much-in-line with Facebook\u2019s evaluation. The exuberance of the successful debut, 150% and higher, continued into the New Year and the bubble has finally burst.<\/p>\n
The question of Valuation or over-valuation had been gaining momentum for the past months and the quarter results appear to have brought down all intense activity.<\/p>\n
The vexing metrics which is driving at Twitter world\u2019s existence is MAU or Monthly Active Users. This followed-up with some well-meaning comparison with Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) <\/b>on the matter of number of users has indeed set up some intriguing questions. Firstly, the number of Mau for Twitter grew in the fourth quarter 1 million in the US. This was over 4% growth, when compared with previous quarter.<\/p>\n
The total number of Monthly Active Users on Twitter currently stands at 241 million and is just at one-fifth of the total at Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB). The last comparison with Facebook has driven down investor sentiment and the drop is nearly 21% and higher and continuing downwards, ever since the results of the previous quarter were made official.<\/p>\n
Will Twitter go Niche or pop<\/b><\/p>\n
Twitter (NYSE:TWTR)<\/b> executives now have one question to parley. Does the social micro-blogging platform grow into a global platform sans local or niche user group usage? This is especially so when Facebook reports excessive number of users and higher engagement.<\/p>\n
Twitter (NYSE:TWTR)<\/b> in terms of value lost over $6.5 billion in stock value post-result announcement. Though, technically twitters financials report a more stable and profitable position investor sentiment appears to be upset over the lack of development on this front.<\/p>\n
Statistically, the number of users swelled for Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR)<\/b> by 30pc to 241m by December of 2013. Disappointingly, these numbers were much lesser, to the tune of 39% over previous year\u2019s user graph.<\/p>\n
