[![Twitter_logo_blue](https://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e2022ad3c042a0200d-pi "Twitter_logo_blue")](https://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e2022ad3dfd86f200b-popup?ref=hypebot.com)UPDATE: Twitter posted its fifth profitable quarter in a row on Thursday in a pre-market report to investors. But that was not enough to satisfy the market which sent the stock down almost 10% in early afternoon trading.At 1:30 PM ET, Twitter's stock was trading at $30.90 USD, down $3.26 or 9.54%.The San Francisco-based social media giant’s fourth-quarter earnings beat analysts’ expectations coming in at 31 cents per share – up six cents from the 25 cents per share during the same period last year. Twitter also posted overall revenue up 24 percent to $909 million, which beat an analyst revenue forecast of $86.1 million, while ad sales, which comprise the bulk of Twitter’s overall revenue, total $791 million, up 23 percent.But, for the first time, Twitter also reported its average daily active users at 126 million. While ticking upward, daily usage – the social network's most monetizable metric – was less than analysts had anticipated. Plus overall total monthly users of 321 million for the quarter were down slightly from 330 million in the same period last year.[Re/code](https://www.recode.net/2019/2/7/18215204/twitter-daily-active-users-dau-snapchat-q4-earnings?ref=hypebot.com) offered this analysis:

*Twitter has 126 million daily users, which is 60 million fewer users than Snapchat (and a lot fewer users than the core apps owned by Facebook). That means roughly 39 percent of Twitter’s monthly active users are on the app every day \[…\]*

*Twitter will tell you that it’s not fair to compare directly to Snapchat. That’s because Twitter says it is only counting users who could be exposed to ads — what it is referring to as its “monetizable” audience. Snapchat, Twitter would argue, counts users who open the app, send a message, and leave without ever getting to the part of the app where Snapchat serves ads.*

The company is currently forecasting increased operating expenditures during fiscal 2019, while Twitter stock was down $2.78, or 8 percent, at $31.28 before the market opened Thursday.– [CelebrityAccess](http://celebrityaccess.com/?ref=hypebot.com)
