It was Dorsey who gave the go ahead to the public that they are selling. Dorsey is trying to manage two large companies and its over his head to do so, concurrently. That is why TWTR has been languishing rather then growing up like Facebook has since Dorsey came back to the helm of the Twitter ship. I am sure the BOD have said yes its worth selling now, it could bring a big ticket price and we all can move on with our lives with large amounts of cash in our pockets. TWTR trading at $15 pps is joke to all Twitter employees and investors. BOD knows that and figures its worth $40+ minimum.
These are all my enterpretations/speculations reading between the lines. So dont be lazy and do your own DD and see what you come up with.
As for the earnings, in this case the buyout bidding will drive the stock price up as other companies lick their chopes and say I want Twitter. So any missed earnings will be treated as noise on the radar screen of the stock. I am sure of it.
