“Expectations are for Twitter to report earnings of 1 cent per share on revenue of $350.91 million. The average move on the day of results has been 17% for the stock, so it is likely to be a volatile day whatever the actual figures.

“Broadly the company still faces declines in user growth rates, while the monetisation aspect, a big problem for Facebook until well after its IPO, is still likely to dog Twitter.”
