More impressively they've successfully switched narrative from MAU (declining) to mDAU (daily users of Twitter owned apps which is growing). Nice 1 @boo @jack https://t.co/w7Y9uE1ncF
We delivered net income of $191M, net margin of 24%, and diluted EPS of $0.25 and grew our headcount sequentially, ending the quarter with more than 4,100 employees. $TWTR

Total US revenue was $432M, an increase of 25%. Total international revenue was $355M, an increase of 11% or 15% on a constant currency basis. Japan remains our 2nd largest market, growing 16% and contributing $136M or 17% of total revenue in Q1. $TWTR

However MAU to mDAU still tells a story of a service that has stopped growing and is now getting better at monetizing & engaging existing users. Basically same story as Apple & services narrative.

I believe if they took abuse more seriously still headroom for user growth
Twitter Q1 absolutely destroys Wall Street estimates for earnings and revenue. Monthly active users are not growing, but the platform’s influence is.

I am (almost) prepared to say that Twitter's financial recovery is real. https://t.co/Knx0Il1vij

But it's worth noting how far ahead Facebook is financially by every measure.

Twitter has found its path to profit and while that should make Wall Street happy, it doesn't because of user growth flatlining -> @Twitter Q1 flies past estimates with sales of $787M and EPS of $0.25, but MAUs drop to 330M https://t.co/vc2WlYviNd #Twitter #Tech #Earnings pic.twitter.com/HzoMaLHdOJ
