Facebook Retains HOLD Rating from ValuEngine.com

Facebook Inc. operates a social networking website worldwide. The Company's products for users are free of charge and available on the Web, mobile Web, and mobile platforms, such as Android and iOS. Its website enables users to connect, share, discover, and communicate with each other. The Facebook Platform is a set of tools and application programming interfaces that developers can use to build social apps on Facebook or to integrate their Websites with Facebook. It offers products that enable advertisers and marketers to engage with its users. Facebook Inc. is headquartered in Menlo Park, California.

Facebook was in the news last week after announcing that the giant social networking platform would now be featuring articles from media giants such as NBC, The Atlantic, The BBC, New York Times, etc. While articles have flown around Facebook since it became popular thanks to users posting them, the company will now allow the content providers to directly publish their articles on the site. This move should provide faster access speeds for users.

Of course, publishers and Facebook will benefit from this arrangement as well due to the potential revenues available via advertising within the directly-published content. Additional revenue streams are considered a must for the company after they missed the consensus with their last earnings report.

It will take a few days for our models to digest any changes in earnings projections as analysts update their estimates. for now--as has been the case for a long time, they remain neutral on the stock. ValuEngine continues its HOLD recommendation on FACEBOOK INC-A for 2015-05-15. Based on the information we have gathered and our resulting research, we feel that FACEBOOK INC-A has the probability to ROUGHLY MATCH average market performance for the next year. The company exhibits ATTRACTIVE Company Size but UNATTRACTIVE Price Sales Ratio.
