Although the company reported earnings of $0.02 per share - above analysts' consensus estimate of a loss of $0.02 per share - and revenues came in at $242.7 million (also above expectations), investors are honing in on weak user growth.

Monthly active users were 241 million, up only 9 million from the previous quarter. In the U.S., Twitter grew its user base by only 1 million.
