What to Expect When Twitter Reports Wednesday Morning

© Thinkstock

Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) is scheduled to release its first-quarter financial results before the markets open on Wednesday. The consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters are calling for $0.11 in EPS on $604.07 million in revenue. The same period of last year had EPS of $0.07 and $548.25 million in revenue.

In its most recent quarter, the company noted that average monthly active users totaled 330 million, flat quarter over quarter and up 4% year over year. Average daily active users (DAU) grew 12% from a year ago, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.

Total revenue in the fourth quarter increased 2% year over year, and owned-and-operated advertising revenue increased 7% year over year, driven by continued strong engagement growth, improvements in revenue products, improved return for advertisers and better sales execution.

If Twitter keeps these numbers up it could be poised for another strong quarter.
