Twitter's previous earnings release was on July 26, when it delivered a big surprise with an EPS of $1.43, when just 8 cents per share was expected. The news caused TWTR to gap higher before it went on to make a new high for the year at $45.86 in early September. Since then, though, the stock has been falling back and almost entirely filled that earnings gap, ahead of its next quarterly results on October 28. |
This time, once again investors are expecting a meager 9 cents per share profit. But with Donald Trump's activity on Twitter increasing sharply over the past months, there is a good chance its active monthly users have increased rapidly. So, could the social media company once again trounce expectations? |

From a technical point of view, Twitter is currently trending lower inside a bull flag. It has bounced a little from its medium-term bullish trend line around the $38-$40 area. If the stock breaks and holds above the bull flag and resistance in the $40.50-$41.00 area, then that could clear the way for a potential rally towards this year's high at $45.86, or possibly even last year's peak around $47.79. |
Conversely, if the stock breaks the bullish trend then a return to the 200-day moving average could not be ruled out. |
Overall, with the stock price making longer-term higher highs and higher lows, the path of least resistance is still arguably to the upside, despite its recent short-term losses. So I would prefer looking for bullish patterns to emerge as it tests key support levels, rather than bearish patterns. |
