The Guardian: Twitter shares soar after sharp revenue increase but growth still slowing
February 5, 2015
James Gellert, CEO of ratings agency Rapid Ratings, said: “They need to demonstrate the ability to broaden [Twitter’s] user base and become profitable. This earnings report demonstrated revenue that beat expectations, but user figures are much lower than expected. Twitter is running out of patience from investors to demonstrate this. Management turnover is troubling and the market needs to see stability in leadership as well as the ability to capture and monetise monthly users.”
