Twitter will report its third-quarter earnings before the bell on Thursday, amidst ongoing debates on the role internet companies should play in moderating their users’ behavior.

Here’s what the street expects:

  • Estimated earnings per share: 14 cents, according to Refinitiv
  • Estimated revenue: $702.6 million, according to Refinitiv
  • Estimated Monthly active users: 330.1 million, according to FactSet and StreetAccount

In September, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey testified alongside Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee regarding foreign meddling during the 2016 U.S. election. The company has also faced claims it participates in “shadow banning,” or making sure certain accounts don’t show up in search results. Twitter had strongly denied those reports. Dorsey did admit the company contributes to “filter bubbles,” where people only see opinions from one perspective, and vowed to fix that issue.

The company has recently purged a network of bots and other abusive accounts on its platform, including a suspected bot pro-Saudi government network and more accounts affiliated with Infowars founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Twitter also said it found more than 10 million posts that may have been backed by the Iranian and Russian governments, which it had previously said were sources of spreading misinformation.
