We can see the meteoric rise and the equally abrupt fall in price.  The all-time low for TWTR is $38.80 and for the moment (it's just a moment in AH), it is now trading below that all-time low.

Now, the earnings results:

• Average Active Users: 255M up 5.8% quarter-over-quarter and 25% Y-O-Y
• "Freshened" Timelines: 157 billion times up 15% from last year but below analyst estimates
• Revenue: $250M (up 119% from $114M a year ago) above estimates of $241.5M
• Ad Revenue per Thousand Timeline Views: $1.44 (nearly 2x last quarter).
• Ad Revenue: $226M up 125% from year ago
• Mobile Ad Revenue: 80% of total revenue
• Mobile Ad Market Share: Estimate 2.7% (up from 2.4%) vs FB 22% and GOOG 47%
• "Excluding Items" EPS: Even vs. expected -0.03 (loss)
• Net Loss: $135MM (up 5x from $27M a year ago)

Future:
Revenue Next Quarter: Company forecasts $272M; Wall St. estimates were [$270M, $280M]
Revenue for Full Year: Wall St. Estimates: $1.2B - $1.25B

But, the chart of the day comes from BUSINESS INSIDER:

Yep... Active user growth is down to 5.8% quarter over quarter, down from over 120%. Can you imagine if that turns negative?... yikes.

For the record my position is:
Long CS 46/48
Long PS 39/37

This is trade analysis, not a recommendation.
