Five Metrics That Will Impact Facebook’s Q4 Earnings

Facebook is scheduled to report its fourth quarter and full year results on Wednesday, January 27. The company’s stock has largely mirrored the S&P 500 in 2016 and is down close to 7% year to date, but its continued premium valuation (trailing P/E of 98 and price-to-sales ratio of 16.7) reaffirms the market’s high expectations for the company. In its fourth quarter results, we expect the company to report revenue growth of around 40% year over year (y-o-y) and meet consensus estimates of $5.36 billion, driven by advertising revenue growth.
