Analyst Predicts that Twitter's Acquisition is Inevitable

Mergers and Acquisitions specialist Victor Basta argues that Twitter’s (NYSE:TWTR) acquisition is almost inevitable, due to it’s decreasing share prices, lack of permanent leadership, and slowing growth in user base.
According to an article on Fortune:

Basta is managing director of Magister Advisors, a boutique investment firm with offices in London and Silicon Valley. In a research note this week, the firm said that Twitter is a logical acquisition candidate for someone like Google GOOG7.82% or Facebook (I argued in an earlier post that Google’s de-emphasizing of its own social network, Google+, makes it even more likely that the company will eventually acquire Twitter, although others seem to disagree).

Basta says:

Market expectation was that Twitter, having created a completely differentiated platform, would accelerate innovation and introduce products and features that would justify a $60+ share price. Disappointingly, innovation for users has largely stagnated. Furthermore, user acquisition numbers have slowed and many sign up and don’t activate.
