KEY POINTS
- Seasonal Tailwind: Consensus was only looking for 22% q/q revenue growth, which was well below anything TWTR has ever put up pre-restructuring for 4Q. SNAP's 4Q17 sequential growth was inline with TWTR's historical norms.
- Fade the Acceleration: Revenue growth accelerated to 72% vs. 62% on a y/y basis. However, the 3Q16 Olympic tailwind suppressed 3Q17 revenue growth by 25 percentage points, so not really an acceleration.
