Twitter Inc. Analyst Notes
On May 6, 2014, Bloomberg reported that Twitter Inc. (Twitter) has signed a deal with Amazon.com Inc. - the world's largest online retailer -- to allow users shop directly from posts on its microblogging service, as part of its efforts to add e-commerce options for advertisers. According to the news article, when a product links appear in a tweet, U.S. customers can add the items to their Amazon shopping carts by replying to the post with the hashtag #AmazonCart. The move comes soon after Twitter released its Q1 2014 financial results and disappointed the street with slowing user growth. Twitter reported that its active users in Q1 2014 reached 255 million, representing a slower growth of 25% YoY versus 30% YoY growth witnessed in the comparable year-ago period. Twitter's stock has declined 48.52% so far this year through May 15, 2014. The full analyst notes on Twitter are available to download free of charge at:

Vodafone Group plc Analyst Notes
On May 7, 2014, Reuters reported that Vodafone Group plc (Vodafone) has initiated an international arbitration against the Indian government in a long-pending over $2 billion tax case. According to the report, Vodafone filed for the arbitration on April 17, 2014, after it took full ownership of its India unit on April 11, 2014. The tax dispute pertains to Vodafone's acquisition of Indian mobile assets from Hutchison Whampoa in 2007. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that Vodafone was not liable for payment of any tax on the acquisition. However, the Indian government later that year changed the rules to enable it to tax deals, retrospectively. The full analyst notes on Vodafone are available to download free of charge at:
