TTM: trailing 12 months Twitter's environmental, social and governance track recordĮnvironmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Twitter. The EBITDA is a measure of a Twitter's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability. Twitter's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is US$211 million (£0.0 million). By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies. The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Twitter's future profitability. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value. Twitter's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.64. The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued. That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). In other words, Twitter shares trade at around 169x recent earnings. Twitter's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 169x. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock. Valuing Twitter stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Twitter's overall performance.
