| Sharek’s Take | ||
 Twitter jumped from $40 to $48 this month after announced record earnings that beat the street. Sales doubled in 2014 and could double again in 2015. Last qtr, the company made 12 cents, blowing past the 6 cent estimate. Before that, the most the company ever made since going public was 2 cents a share, and had beaten the street by 3 cents in 3-of-4 qtrs. Is this a new awakening in profitability? Could be. Although the 128 P/E ratio is high, high growth/high P/E stocks as they are leading the stock market, and I see TWTR making $1 in profits next year. With triple digit profit growth now and in the future forecasts, there’s a possibility this stock could roll higher. Even if it doesn’t I love the long-term outlook of this company. |

| One-Year Chart | ||
 I love the triple-digit profit growth TWTR has been getting, and that’s expected to continue through most of this year. The only negative is the 126 P/E but that’s the era we are in today — rapid growth is very expensive. |
||
| Earnings Table | ||
 Revenue soared 97% last qtr as profits jumped 500%. TWTR was on a roll of beating the street by 3 cents in 3 of the last 4 qtrs. But last qtr it just met estimates, which hurt momentum. The 6 cent beat turned momentum up. Annual Profit Estimates moved a little bit higher. Quarterly estimates show triple-digit profit growth could continue at least 3 more qtrs. |
||
| Fair Value | ||
 I think TWTR could make $1 next year, and buy then my purchase could be through of as a good move. But line many stocks in the current market, it’s priced high because its growing so fast. |
||
| Ten-Year Chart | ||
 Wild ten-year chart because TWTR was all-hyped-up when it first went public. Then people forgot about the stock just as profitability spiked. |

Growth Portfolio

Twitter is one of America’s top franchises and shares of such stocks are being sent higher by investors thirsty for growth. I feel this is a great franchise to own for the long-term and we have the added bonus that the stock is timely right now and may keep moving higher. |
