Justin Oh:
Twitter ($TWTR) is seeing a revitalization through the pandemic, just like Reddit and Snapchat. I, for one, have found Twitter to be a vibrant and educational platform, at least for FinTwit. While this is encouraging, Twitter has seen only compounded annual growth of 11% for revenue and 12% for EBITDA over the past five years.
Twitter ($TWTR) now trades at 16x forward Gross Profit and 35x EBITDA. Not a bad valuation for an inflecting business, but also not as juicy as, say, a Facebook ($FB).
Although Lyft ($LYFT) reported a rough quarter, it beat EBITDA expectations by almost 19% and the stock is up almost 5% today. Lyft expects “a growth inflection beginning in the second quarter that strengthens in the second half of the year.” Lyft trades at a very cheap multiple (9x forward Gross Profit), but is completely dependent on a recovery in ride-hailing.
We will be eyeing Uber’s ($UBER) earnings closely after market close today.
See which of these stocks we hold on the ROIC Big Board.
