$TWTR gets an upgrade
Argus analyst Jim Kelleher upgraded Twitter to Buy from Hold with a $25 price target, citing an increase in user engagement, strong growth in adjusted EBITDA, and anticipated return to annual revenue growth next year. Kelleher says that while Q3 revenue fell 4% on the year and ad revenue declined 8%, data & enterprise solutions sales were up over 20%. Usage also trended higher, with a 4% rise in monthly active users and a 14% increase in daily active users, says the analyst, adding that consensus estimates will move higher in Q4 and into FY18 based on the company's outlook for EBITDA margins
