Facebook announced earnings on October 30th, 2019 after markets closed and once again proved two things. First, no matter how many bad headlines surround it, the company's bottom line doesn't appear to suffer. Second, as long as it delivers on its bottom line, investors don't really care much about Facebook's role in current events. Facebook smashed earnings expectations, earning $2.12 a share.
On a more granular level, Facebook's daily active users (DAU) rose 9% from this quarter last year, roughly in line with expectations. Its average revenue per user (ARPU) rose to $7.22, topping expectations. Facebook's stock rose about 5% in after hours trading, though it has since settled down to around 2% higher than its pre-earnings level.
