Twitter is up by over 150% since 2016.

Both are pretty useless statements without context.



The context is the original IPO share price of Twitter in 2013.


The context of "since IPO" for a company that's been public for almost a decade, in the tech business.

In fact, what other tech stock valued at double digit billions has had such a flat valuation for its whole lifetime, yet still survived?

Yes, a range of ~14-77, but it's neither taken off nor crashed.

Look at any other survivor and they'll be shaped more like Oracle, Cisco, FB&NFLX (well, recent troubles aside)

Look at them all over the last 9 years. Twitter stands out to me.

I dunno, maybe there are many big tech companies following the same pattern. But none of them are this high profile, so Twitter is the odd one out.


Look at AMD before and after the new CEO...


It's been pretty much a straight line downward trend for 10 years. There's probably not a whole lot that is redeemable by more context.
