Moments ago Twitter just reported blockbuster earnings that beat expectations across the board, and guided higher:
- Q4 revenue of $243 million, up 116% year-over-year, beating estimates of $218 million
- Q4 GAAP EPS of ($1.41) and non-GAAP EPS of $0.02, beating estimates of ($0.02)
- Q4 net loss of $511 million and non-GAAP net income of $10 million
- Q4 adjusted EBITDA of $45 million, representing an adjusted EBITDA margin of 18%
- Sees Q1 revenue of $230-$240 million, higher than the consensus estimate of $214.9 million

And as an added bonus, this chart of timeline views, which reported the first quarterly contraction, certainly did not help either.
Finally, the trend is certainly not the momo-chasers friend here either:
As a result, this is what happened with TWTR stock after hours:
