Can Twitter Survive the Current Downturn?

Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR) stock is in the news after Macquarie analyst Benjamin Schachter downgraded the stock to Neutral from Outperform. However, the analyst increased his price target to $42 from $36. The analyst thinks Twitter’s product changes will result in business improvements but take a lot of time. Schachter thinks Twitter’s usage will not increase rapidly in the near future.

Twitter is currently under pressure after the company purged over 1 million fake accounts. Schachter thinks this step will help the company but it will not affect the stock price in a positive way.

For this year Twitter Inc's revenue will be around 2,91 billion USD. This is according to the average of the analysts' estimates. This is rather significant more than 2017's revenue of 2,44 billion USD.
