Twitter Shares Fall After Selerity Tweets Leaked Earnings

Twitter Inc. shares fell 3% in late trade Tuesday, after financial data platform Selerity tweeted what appeared to be their leaked first-quarter earnings. Selerity said Twitter had adjusted per-share earnings of 7 cents, ahead of the 4 cents FactSet consensus. But it said revenue of $436 million was below the $456.2 million consensus. Twitter did not immediately respond to the apparent leak. The company is scheduled to report quarterly earnings after the bell.
