Like Yahoo and LinkedIn, Twitter could be the next internet company forced into a desperation sale if it cannot find ways to attract users and advertisers to its platform.
Twitter Inc.’s (TWTR:NYSE) stock took another hit after the company announced second-quarter results, showing disappointing user and advertiser growth and a weak outlook. The stock lost more than 60 percent since its initial public offering in 2013, making it more attractive for potential buyers.
Results announced on July 26 provided another sobering snapshot of Twitter stuck on a treadmill, as other platforms like Facebook and Snapchat are racing ahead in the battle for user growth and loyalty.
Twitter's revenue growth has decelerated from approx. 100 percent to 20 percent in the last 11 quarters. YCharts
