Twitter's User Growth Gets a Big Boost Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

After the market closed on Monday, social network Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) joined a growing chorus of companies that have either reduced or withdrawn their guidance for the current quarter, citing the impact of COVID-19, or the coronavirus. Twitter withdrew its outlook for certain financial metrics for the first quarter of 2020. Management also provided an update on user growth.
