Twitter has reported mixed results for Q3 2014, adding 13m to its flock and reporting healthy profit, however growth is slowing, engagement is down and investors are dwindling.

The better-than-expected fiscal findings recorded Q3 2014 revenue of $361m, beating Wall Street consensus estimates of $351 million.

Twitter’s expanding flock increased by 13m to 284m worldwide, representing an increase of 23% year-over-year and a 4.8% growth between Q2 and Q3.

However, this represents a slow in growth when compared to Q1 to Q2 of 2014 when Twitter’s monthly active user base grew by 6.2%.

Despite positive financial findings and growth, investors were unimpressed, perhaps due to a slowdown in growth and engagement data. This quarter, Twitter said active timeline views per monthly active user dropped 4% in the US year-over-year — 9% for international monthly active users.

Following its earnings announcement, Twitter’s stock fell on the earnings report, dropping more than 9% in after-hours trading.
