Why Twitter is flying in 2021

Published

on

Twitter is doing better than analysts are expecting, even though it’s banned one of its best content makers.

With President Trump out of the White House and off the platform, investors were worried it would hit the social media company’s bottom line.

But that’s not to be – net profit for Twitter was $66 million.

Twitter posted better-than-expected results for the recently ended quarter with gains in revenue, profit and its user base, sparking a rally in shares of the messaging platform.

The social giant beats Wall Street expectations

Net profit was $US66 million on revenue that surged to $US1.19 billion

That compared to a loss of $US1.38 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, according to the San Francisco-based tech firm.

The closely watched figure of “monetizable” daily users rose to 206 million in the quarter, an 11 percent increase from the same period last year.

More people are Twitting than ever before

Twitter said in its statement that more people were on the platform as a result of “ongoing product improvements and global conversation around current events.” 

Market watchers had been concerned that the departure of former US President Donald Trump from the platform and the lack of election-year frenzy might cause use to ebb.

Twitter shares were up more than 6 percent in after-market trades that followed the release of the earnings figures.

Bank accidentally deposits $86M into client’s account

Published

on

A financial institution mistakenly deposited over $86 million into a client’s account, causing shockwaves in the banking industry.

The error came to light when the client, a small business owner, checked their account balance and discovered the astronomical sum. It is being hailed as one of the most significant banking errors in recent memory.

The client, who wishes to remain anonymous, reportedly contacted the bank immediately upon noticing the massive windfall. Bank officials were left scrambling to rectify the error, which has raised numerous questions about the institution’s internal controls and safeguards.

The client’s account, initially holding just a few thousand dollars, suddenly displayed a balance that could buy luxury yachts, mansions, and more.

The incident has prompted investigations by regulatory authorities to determine how such an egregious error occurred in the first place.

While the bank has issued an apology and assured the client that the funds will be corrected to the proper balance, it remains unclear how this mistake could have happened on such a colossal scale.

The financial institution may also face potential legal consequences for the error, as well as reputational damage that could impact its future business.

Tech giants drive global mega-cap surge amid inflation relief

Published

on

Tech giants have taken the lead in propelling global mega-cap stocks to new heights.

This surge comes as a welcome relief for investors who have been closely monitoring the impact of rising inflation on the financial markets.

The tech sector, including giants like Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft, has been instrumental in driving the rally. These companies have reported robust earnings and strong growth prospects, which has boosted investor confidence. As a result, the market capitalization of these tech behemoths has reached unprecedented levels, contributing significantly to the overall rise in global mega-cap stocks.

The easing of inflationary pressures has played a pivotal role in this resurgence. Central banks’ efforts to tame inflation through monetary policy adjustments have begun to bear fruit, reassuring investors and stabilizing financial markets. As concerns over rapidly increasing prices recede, investors have become more willing to invest in mega-cap stocks, particularly in the tech sector, which has demonstrated resilience in the face of economic challenges.

Will the tech giants maintain their momentum and continue to lead the mega-cap surge, or are there potential risks on the horizon?
