Share of Twitter Inc. (TWTR) Slump Further After Hours. Here’s why?

On February 02, shares of Twitter Inc. (TWTR ) suffered a further blow of 8.03% in the after-hours. Multiple reasons can be deemed responsible for the continued downward drift of the social media stock.

During regular trading, the stock had already suffered from a loss of 4.22% at its closing price of $36.51. TWTR continued its cascade in the after-hours to go down to $33.58 per share. Moreover, the after-market session witnessed a volume of 2.23 million shares on Wednesday.

Currently, Twitter Inc. has a market capitalization of $30.48 billion with its 799.61 million shares outstanding.

What is Happening with TWTR?

After the market closed on Wednesday, the social media giant Facebook’s owner Meta Platforms declared its financial results. Meta not only missed its earnings but provided a poor forecast for the future. The flattened growth in the social media giant along with further drab growth expectations led to the meltdown of social media stocks. Hence, along with Pinterest and Snap, TWTR stock also took a hit in the after-hours on Wednesday.

Additionally, TWTR as well as Facebook have been facing some serious blows from various fronts due to claims of fraud and fake news on the platforms. As per Wednesday’s news on IndiaTimes, the Indian government is seeking explanation and proof from various platforms including Twitter regarding their actions against anti-national and fake news content.

Moreover, the stock currently stands at a year-to-date loss of 15.53% while it went down by 33.11% last year.

MoPub’s Sale

On January 03, the company announced the completion of the sale of MoPub on January 01, 2022. TWTR has sold MoPub to AppLovin Corporation for a cash of $1.05 billion.

Furthermore, the MoPub platform along with network mediation, Advanced Bidding, and Marketplace will go down on March 31. Further, the MoPub Dashboard and Reporting will operate till April 08. A 90-day transition period will be provided to publishers with assistance from AppLovin for migration to the AppLovin MAX platform.

In the third quarter of 2021, TWTR had total revenue of $1.28 billion, marking an increase of 37% YOY.

The company had a net loss of $537 million in the third quarter of 2021 with earnings of $(0.67) per diluted share.

On February 18, American stock indices ended in the red. The S&P 500 index fell 0.44% to 3914 points, the Dow Jones fell 0.38%, the NASDAQ fell 0.72%, losing more than 1.5% during the session. The reason for the correction was the data on the growth in the number of applications for unemployment benefits, as well as the flow of capital into cyclical sectors. Thus, the consumer goods segment traded better than the market, ending the day with a result of + 0.14%. The energy sector corrected by 2.27%.

Company news

Software developer Twilio (TWLO: + 7.7%) posted strong quarterly results, with revenue growth exceeding expectations.

Walmart’s comparable sales (WMT: -6.5%) were better than the consensus, but investors were disappointed by the weak EPS performance and the forecast that the retailer’s capex will increase from $ 10 billion to $ 14 billion this year.

Revenue and EBITDA of lithium supplier Albemarle (ALB: -10.2%) exceeded investor expectations, but the company’s forecasts were not strong enough.

Today, global stock markets are showing mixed dynamics. Investors continue to assess the potential impact of rising bond yields on the stock market. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to the February 2020 level. From the point of view of corporate finance, in this situation, the discount rate increases, which ultimately reduces the fair value of the shares. At the same time, an increase in the yield of government bonds reflects an improvement in economic prospects, so there is no consensus among the investment community regarding the impact of this factor on the market.

The current consensus on the fiscal stimulus package suggests that it will be approved in mid-March in the amount of about $ 1.5 trillion. Moreover, after the adoption of this package, all attention will be focused on infrastructure government spending, the project of which will be presented next month. Their estimated volume is $ 2 trillion. Rumors regarding this bill are already beginning to influence the market.

The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index climbed to 80 out of 100. The indicator reflects market participants’ hope for a global economic recovery in 2021. Concerns about the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic are gradually diminishing thanks to the prospect of mass vaccinations.

Technically, the S&P 500 is still in an uptrend, the upper bound of which limits the upside potential of the broad market index. The previous trading session did not change the overall picture too much. In the short term, correction or consolidation is likely, as a bearish divergence is being formed on the RSI indicator.

Twitter Inc. (TWTR) halts Thai royalist account related to influence campaign

A Thai pro-royalist account connected to the palace was suspended by Twitter Inc. (TWTR), which was found to be affiliated to thousands of others created in recent weeks, sharing messages in support of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and the monarchy.

It was found tens of thousands of tweets that seemed to be from accounts exacerbating royalist messaging in a bid to fight a month-long political campaign that swelled by questioning the monarchy from criticizing the establishment to violating a long-standing taboo.

Documents of internal military preparation revealed signs of a concerted propaganda operation aimed at disseminating positive information and discrediting critics.

The role of social media in propelling the protest movement has been quoted by demonstrators and royalists, which has been the greatest threat to the monarchy and the government of former junta chief Prayuth Chan-ocha in decades.

Formed in September, until its termination, the @jitarsa school account had more than 48,000 followers.

A Twitter spokesperson said on Sunday, “The account in question was suspended for violating our rules on spam and platform manipulation.” She said the suspension was in accordance with the policy of the organization and not a consequence of the request for comment from Reuters.

The profile of the account said it qualified individuals for the Royal Volunteers scheme, which is run by the Royal Office. The Twitter account is also described as its own by a Facebook page for the Royal Volunteers Academy, which publishes pro-monarchy videos and program news.

More than 80% of the accounts that follow @jitarsa school have also been generated since the beginning of September, according to the reports. A survey of 4,600 of the newly formed accounts revealed that the royalist hashtags were all advertised, an indicator of the sort of behavior that would not be related to normal Twitter Inc. (TWTR) users.
