Twitter’s costs and expenses increased at a quicker rate than revenue, including a $765.7 million one-time litigation-related penalty. 

Twitter’s Market Cap: As of the close of trading on May 2022, Twitter’s market capitalization is $28.57 Billion. This made it the 272nd most valuable company in the United States and the world’s 603rd most valuable company by market cap.

Elon Musk has also offered to buy the entire firm for $54.20 per share, thus delisting it from the stock exchange. Twitter is valued at $13.316 billion, depending on revenue growth over the last 3 years.

Does Twitter still lose money?

Twitter’s income for the 3rd quarter increased 37 percent year over year to $1.28 billion.

However, after paying $809.5 million to resolve a 2016 shareholder lawsuit accusing it of making false statements about its user metrics, the social media business lost $537 million in the quarter, compared to a profit of $29 million the year before.

Twitter announced that the sale of MoPub, a marketplace for providing mobile advertising, would be completed during the first quarter of 2022, with some advertising revenue expected to be lost as a result. However, the business stated that it was on track to fulfill its revenue target of $7.5 billion or so in 2023.

Despite a $1.1 billion net loss the previous year 2019, the business expects to treble revenue by 2023. 

In 2021 Twitter’s annual net loss was $221 million. Although this year the loss has decreased significantly, as it had made huge losses over the years. Finally, it seems Twitter is moving on a trajectory of profit. Recently twitter’s stock prices rocketed and closed up 27% when Elon musk revealed that he had bought a 9% stake in Twitter.

Twitter’s Trouble Turning a Profit Might Be Turning a Corner

Due to tremendous investor interest, Twitter went public in November 2013 and had a robust share price of $45 per share. Despite its seeming universality or influence — Twitter was losing money until 2018 and was back in the red by 2020. 

In January 2020, for example, after Twitter barred former President Donald Trump from the platform, shares fell substantially. Trump’s account was the most followed on Twitter. The stock market, on the other hand, swiftly recovered. 

The stock has been in freefall since January 2021, following a year-long surge. In comparison to a year earlier, shares were down roughly 50% at the time of closing on Feb. 16. 

Overall, 2021 was a challenging year, marked by a $809.5 million class-action settlement, among other pandemic-related issues. However, the company now has a full-time CEO. Parag Agrawal, who took over as CEO from Jack Dorsey in November 2021, is leading the push into 2022. 

According to the earnings statement, ad engagement declined by 12% for the year, while the cost of engagement increased by 39%, owing in part to the impact of COVID and a shift toward ad formats with lower engagement despite greater expenditures. 

Twitter forecasts revenue of between $1.17 billion and $1.27 billion in 2022, as well as an operating loss of between $225 billion and $175 billion. After the complete acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, it might become profitable.
