In short

The company's third-quarter revenue advanced 14% year-over-year to hit $1.72 billion, successfully matching market projections. In contrast, engagement numbers disappointed analysts as daily active users expanded by only 4% to reach 495 million. That total fell short of the 499 million daily users that Wall Street had anticipated for the quarter. Consequently, the disappointing audience trajectory triggered an after-hours stock decline of more than 9%.
