BMO Capital Markets on July 29 raised their price target to $70 from $65 and reiterated their market perform rating on the stock. They comment, “very few stocks engender so many questions on the potential of consistent execution as TWTR,” which is a very good question. They believe that both bulls and bears have compelling arguments going into the third quarter. They say that bears are looking at weaker third quarter revenue guidance due to the Olympics and current industrywide digital ad trends, as well as softer U.S mDAU’s. Meanwhile bulls are looking at the opportunity in direct response ads, more monetization, and share buybacks.
