Falling TWTR Halted After Results Published Early — On Twitter

Twitter was supposed to be releasing its earning results after market close this afternoon — but financial intelligence firm Selerity published the numbers early.

Where oh where could they have gotten that information? It appeared at first to be a leak, but as Selerity pointed out the earnings release was already live on Twitter’s investor relations site. (We’re not totally clear on the chronology of events here, but Selerity is how we first saw the numbers, and we weren’t the only ones.)

Twitter’s stock was trading at more than $51 when the numbers got out — then they fell to less than $49. Trading has now been halted.
