3) “product enhancements that we expect to lead to improved engagement and new users;
4) “deep advertiser relationships;
5) “early days in monetization given Twitter’s 1.3 percent ad load; and
6) “expanding margins.”
The analyst note acknowledged that “there may be some risk in the short-term around 4Q MAU growth, but we believe this is priced in at current levels and we expect MAUs to rebound in 1Q15 as overall engagement benefits from Twitter’s product improvements.”
The $49 price target was based on a DCF analysis with a WACC of 12 percent, a 9x terminal multiple, and three-year 2013-2016 CAGRs.
Twitter recently traded at $37.70, up 1.6 percent.
