In the said letter, GreenWood Investors highlighted a few stocks and Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) is one of them. Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) is a social networking company. Year-to-date, Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) stock gained 22.4% and on August 20th it had a closing price of $38.96. GreenWood Investors cared to mention Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) in its investor letter, though they didn’t say why they really like the stock. All they said is this:
“Twitter, for instance, sold off given the weakness seen in brand advertising, where it generates roughly 80% of its revenue. But the service has become an essential information tool, particularly during Covid-19, which is reflected by record daily user growth that we had seen prior to the company confirming this on its most recent earnings report (+34%). We’re most excited about the new ad server which came online in June. This new server will allow the notoriously slow company to more quickly develop Direct Response ad formats, which are roughly 80% of Facebook’s revenue and command materially higher price points. Twitter has not been using the targeting capabilities its service enables, and has not developed ad formats to support commercial transactions in-app. Fixing this over the next year is going to have a very pronounced effect on the company’s user monetization, while that user base is experiencing record growth. But, again, you wouldn’t have seen this show up in the second quarter, with revenue -19%. I posted our introductory research on Twitter to investors back in June in case you haven’t had a chance to read it yet.”
