Twitter reported a drop in user engagement and projected lower-than-expected revenue, sending its stock price plummeting as much as 12% in after-hours trading.
The social-media company said Monday that timeline views per user dropped 7%, even as total users climbed a healthy 23% to 284 million.

The company, which went public last November, said its third-quarter loss grew to $175.5 million from $64.6 million in the same quarter last year.
