Unlike other major tech companies, Twitter has been giving away a lot of its value. This has led to new businesses based on its technology. Not Boring, for example, finds readers and sponsors on Twitter and transfers the transaction to Substack, an ad platform. This type of ad platform requires an Aggregator, a third party who aggregates demand and collects tax to send it to its final destination. But Twitter isn’t a good Aggregator, despite having a large user base. Its ad products are not scalable enough to support the growth of the company.
NeXt Up Research values Twitter at $1.2 billion
As of February 1, Twitter has a valuation of $1.2 billion, a significant amount of which comes from the valuation of its user base. Twitter has experienced a huge jump in its user base since 2011 and was facing a declining user base in 2015 before hitting a new record high of 229 million. However, Twitter’s user base isn’t what attracted Elon Musk to the company. While Twitter has a shaky financial history and unpredictable cash flow, that’s not what attracted him in the first place. Twitter’s first-quarter earnings report is scheduled for Thursday, and analysts are predicting a profit of $40 million on revenue of $1.2 billion. According to FactSet, that profit is likely to be higher than the $128 million reported by the company.
Although Twitter’s revenue has increased to over $5 billion in a few years, the company’s valuation isn’t based on the company’s ability to drive revenue growth. Indeed, while Twitter’s share price is a premium in the social media space, this valuation isn’t even close to that. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Snap trade at higher forward EV/S multiples than Twitter.
Wall Street analysts value Twitter at $1.1 billion
Twitter has been a popular social networking site, but it has been suffering from disappointing financial performance. Its stock has lost about 50 times its annual revenue in the past few years, and the recent market downturn has weighed on its revenues. During its latest earnings call, management didn’t mention the possibility of a recession, which would negatively affect the ad revenue that the social networking site depends on. While economists predict an early recession, Twitter management didn’t mention it specifically.
A number of senior executives have resigned recently, including Kayvon Beykpour and Bruce Falck, two general managers for its consumer business. These moves have likely sunk Twitter’s morale and reduced its ability to pursue new advertising deals. If the deal goes through, Twitter could face pressure to settle for a lower price, a fact that Musk may not want. After all, Twitter doesn’t have many other options.
