Stock To Dump: Twitter

Trump has tweeted more than 56,000 times since creating his account in 2009. He had an audience of 88.7 million followers prior to his suspension, with his tweets regularly attracting tremendous traffic and engagement.

Trump reiterated his call to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a law that protects tech companies from being held liable for what users post on their platforms and for moderating them.

Taking this into consideration, TWTR shares look set to remain on the backfoot in the coming week as it faces mounting challenges ahead, both on the user-engagement front as well as growing regulatory concerns.

This Stock Is Flashing a Rare Buying Opportunity

Donald Trump’s Twitter account was the platform’s sixth most-followed account with around 88 million followers.

International users add up to 262 million, or 70% of the company’s 340 million users.

There is visible support for the stock below $48, until we get down to about $40. Right below that is the 200-day MA, which should provide significant support.

Elliott Management and Silver Lake will have a significant voice in what Twitter looks like down the road.

Trump Looks 'Net Positive' For Investors

by Pinchas Cohen

Mark Shmulik, internet analyst for AllianceBernstein says the selloff "feels like a bit of overreaction.” Right now, he notes, “most advertisers won’t touch anything Trump related.” In other words, the current selloff might be short-term pain for longer-term gain.

Trading Strategies

Conservative traders should wait for the price to demonstrate a base above the uptrend line, then await for a retest to obtain a closer entry.

Moderate traders may wait for either the base or for greater proximity to the uptrend line.

Aggressive traders might buy in now, provided they understand and accept the risk of entering an unconfirmed position, and trade accordingly.

Here’s an example:

Trade Sample
Entry: $47
Stop-Loss: $45
Risk: $2
Target: $57
Reward: $10
Risk:Reward Ratio: 1:5

Twitter Posts Record Revenue in the Fourth Quarter

Twitter TWTR rose in premarket trading Wednesday after reporting record revenue in the fourth quarter but warning that user growth in 2021 could slow.

Twitter earned 27 cents a share in the fourth quarter as revenue rose 28% to $1.29 billion and beat forecasts of $1.18 billion.

"We delivered record revenue of $1.29 billion in Q4, up 28% year over year, reflecting better-than-expected performance across all major products and geographies," said Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal in a statement.

The company said monetizable daily active users - its term for the number of daily users who can view ads - rose 27% from a year earlier to 192 million. Analysts were looking for 193.4 million.

Twitter said user growth could slip to a percentage in the "low double digits" beginning in the second quarter.

"Looking beyond Q1, the significant pandemic-related surge we saw last year continues to create challenging comps," the company wrote in its letter to shareholders.

Twitter (TWTR)

The social media giant just reported another $1 billion quarter. CNBC market commentator Jim Cramer predicts that TWTR stock will rise from its current price of $67.70 a share to $100.

In its earnings report, Twitter said revenue rose 28% to $1.29 billion compared with the $1.19 billion analysts had expected.

Twitter credited a rebound in online advertising for the strong results, noting that its net income rose to $222 million, or 27 cents per share.

Daily active user growth also continues to be a source of strength for Twitter as the company reported 192 million daily active users, up 26% from a year earlier and just shy of analyst estimates of 193.4 million users.

For all of 2020, the company added 40 million new daily users as major events such as the pandemic and U.S. presidential election attracted people to the platform.

In the fourth quarter, Twitter added one million new users in the U.S., bringing its total to 37 million average daily users in its most profitable market.

Fears that banning former President Donald Trump from the platform would hurt its popularity seem to have subsided. Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey recently said that the social media platform is “…much larger than any one topic or any one account,” referring to Trump.

Twitter continues to explore the idea of switching to a subscription model, a move that could further drive revenues and profits.

Both revenue of $1.04 billion and monetizable daily active users of 199 million basically matched analyst forecasts.

Twitter Jitters

By Candy Matheson

The historical "mean" value for Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), sits at 40.00, as shown on the following monthly chart. It's had difficulty holding above that level since its IPO in November of 2013.

In the space of 11 months (from March of 2020), it went from 20.00 to 80.75. During that time, it censored and permanently banned the sitting Republican President of the United States (Donald Trump) from its social media platform, as well as a huge number of Republicans and Conservatives...and alienated half of Americans in the process.

Twitter's leadership is showing no signs of hiding its political and racial bias against half of Americans anytime soon (many of whom are of differing races, ethnicities and religions).

That was especially highlighted on Twitter's platform, following President Biden's address to Congress and Republican Senator Tim Scott's rebuttal last night, as described in this Daily Caller article.

So, what merits this parabolic spike in price in less than a year...apart from a purely speculative FOMO (fear of missing out) buying frenzy?

I wouldn't be surprised to see a retest of 40.00, or even major support at 30.00, sometime in the near future, as a consequence of Twitter's embrace of biased "cancel culture."
