From the data provided in the case Exhibits 1,2,6, and 7, how does Twitter's performance stack up with Facebook and Snap?
Select "yes" for those statements below that are accurate and choose "no" for those that are not.
Twitter's financial performance is between that of Facebook and Snap, Inc.; stronger than Snap, but much weaker than Facebook.
Facebook's performance was clearly inferior to Twitter, and the present trends indicate that it will remain unchanged for the near term.
In 2019, Facebook's revenue was a significant multiple of Twitter ( $70.69 billion versus $3.45 billion) and was growing at a faster rate (40.9 percent vs 11.8 percent CAGR).
In 2019, Facebook's cost of revenue plus expenses was 65 percent of net revenue versus 89 percent for Twitter.
Facebook has a trend of increasing revenues but it has made poor progress in controlling its costs.
Although Twitter's revenue was much larger than Snap, Inc., its growth rate was lower (11.75 percent versus 132.55 percent, CAGR).
Twitter was more liquid than Facebook or Snap, Inc., in past years.
Twitter's ROA (11.5 percent) and ROE (16.7 percent) place it far above Snap, Inc's. negative ROA (.26) and negative ROE (.46), and quite close to Facebook's ROA of 14 and ROE of 18
If Twitter's 2015-2019 trends continue, the company will produce increased revenue and increased net profit in 2020, whereas Snap, Inc.'s trends clearly point to another year of losses, though perhaps not as bad as 2019.
