Twitter Inc (TWTR)

[Matrix999]

The unprofitable social-media company generously awards senior managers

There's more to the story of Twitter than just the company's failure to hit target numbers (http:// www.marketwatch.com/story/twitter-shares-tumble-on-missed-revenue-downbeat-outlook-2016-04-26) expected by Wall Street analysts. What should really scare investors away from the stock is the rapid pace of dilution from outsized stock-based compensation to the social-media company's employees.

Twitter Inc. posted a net loss of $79.7 million, or 12 cents a share, narrower than a loss of $162.4 million, or 25 cents, a year earlier. The loss reflects $150.9 million in stock-based compensation to employees, which was down from $162.4 million a year earlier.
