Why Twitter Is Still a Buy?
Anthony wrote, “Twitter’s World Cup interactivity, which we see as a template for future live events, was likely helpful from an engagement standpoint. More significant, however, is our read from third-party sources suggesting stronger April and May user activity on Twitter. Moving forward, we believe the iPhone 6 upgrade should add to user activity on the site. We model 269mm MAUs for 2Q14, which we think is achievable”.
