Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) notes that it saw an increase for average monetizable daily active users for the first quarter of the year. This was up 11% to 134 million from the 120 million reported in the same time last year.

Earnings per share reported in the Twitter earnings release for the first quarter of 2019 comes in at 9 cents. This is up from the company’s earnings per share of 8 cents from the first quarter of 2018.
