Latest updates
Wednesday, November 9: Twitter stock has been delisted after Musk completed his buyout of the company. All Twitter shares are now owned by Musk (through his company X Holdings I), and the stock is no longer available to be publicly traded.
Tuesday, October 4: Musk has agreed to buy Twitter at the previously agreed upon price of $44 billion ($54.20 per stock). Twitter stock jumped 21% a day after the announcement was made, closing at $52.00. The move ends Twitter’s lawsuit against Musk for backing out of the buyout—just 2 weeks before the case was scheduled to be decided in court.
Monday, May 16: Twitter stock dropped another 7% today to $37.80/share, meaning Twitter’s market value has dropped over $10 billion from what Musk agreed to pay for the company. Investors are dumping the stock largely due to regulatory concerns.
Friday, May 13: Musk announced that his Twitter deal is on pause until he has more information on how many fake accounts exist on the platform. He later tweeted that he is still committed to the deal. This took place before market open, and Twitter stock dropped 18% in premarket trading shortly after. Shares closed down 9.7% today.
Tuesday, April 26: What does Musk’s acquisition of Twitter mean for shareholders? You can currently still trade TWTR. However, between now and its potential de-listing, the price is expected to be volatile. If you buy the stock for more than $54.20 per share (Musk’s agreed-upon acquisition price) you could face a loss.
Monday, April 25: A deal has been struck for Elon Musk to acquire Twitter for $44 billion. The next step is for shareholders to vote to approve the deal. If the deal goes through, Twitter stock will be purchased from the shareholders at $54.20 per share, and Twitter will become a private company.
Monday, April 18: Musk made a US$43 billion cash buyout offer to take Twitter private. In response, Twitter’s board has enacted a shareholder rights plan, also known as a poison pill, that would offer shares to the public at a discount if any single person tries to purchase more than 15% of the company without the board’s approval. This would prevent Elon Musk, who has been highly critical of the board, from taking over the company without the board’s approval. Twitter stock is up about 15% since Musk’s 9% stake was announced.
Thursday, April 14: Elon Musk has made a bid to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share. If the deal happens, Twitter could become a private company. There’s no news yet on whether a deal will happen.
Monday, April 11: Tesla founder Elon Musk, who became Twitter’s largest shareholder last week, won’t be joining its board after all. Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal tweeted the news last night, saying “we will remain open to his input.”
Tuesday, April 5: Twitter stock rallied for a second day today on word Tesla founder Elon Musk would join its board. The stock was up as much as 7%, but did slip back this afternoon.
Monday, April 4: Twitter stock is surging by as much as 25% today after an SEC filing revealed Tesla founder Elon Musk had purchased a 9.2% stake in the company. It’s not clear what, if any, role Musk might seek in Twitter’s operations, but he has been a critic of the social-networking site.

Is Twitter stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Twitter stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Twitter's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Twitter's P/E ratio
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 215x. In other words, Twitter shares trade at around 215x recent earnings.
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). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Twitter's PEG ratio
Twitter's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.64. 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.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Twitter's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Twitter's EBITDA
Twitter's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $211 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Twitter's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Twitter's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, 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.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Twitter's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 25.25
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Twitter's overall score of 25.25 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 38th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Twitter is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Twitter's environmental score
Environmental score: 4.5/100
Twitter's environmental score of 4.5 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Twitter is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Twitter's social score
Social score: 13.25/100
Twitter's social score of 13.25 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Twitter is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Governance score: 7.49/100
Twitter's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Twitter is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Twitter's controversy score
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Twitter scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Twitter hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
