Twitter has potential to double revenue by 2017
Sandler said that Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) shares have recovered after the lock-up expiration. Even though investors are getting used to the “logged-in MAU” and revenue trajectory, “we sense a general lack of clarity around the “logged-off” opportunity.” If Twitter is able to enhance its focus on “mobile content discovery and execute on logged-out,” then, according to the analyst, there is a possibility to double both revenues and market cap.

Twitter gets unique users from numerous traffic sources, and Sandler believes that these channels would help the platform “algorithmically create unique “logged-off” experiences for users, eventually leading to a higher engagement. Sandler admits that “logged-out” users are “vastly” different from logged-on users, but believes that if somehow Twitter is able to attract such users just 1 or 2 times a day, then there is a good chance for the micro-blogging company to double revenues by 2017.
