Facebook saw a “significant reduction” in advertising demand over the last three weeks of March but the first three weeks of April showed “signs of stability”

it means Facebook's CFO thinks the economy is not in recovery, and the worst may be ahead.) Rat King / @mikeisaac : Now for the first time ever, more than 3 billion people actively using one or more Facebook's services — Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Facebook — each month. Alex Heath / @alexeheath : This the same story as Google Q1 earnings yesterday. The real pain won't be felt until Q2 numbers are out in a few months. Alex Heath / @alexeheath : Facebook shares are up after management said ad growth has been flat in April rather than negative. Also the company added a ton of new users in the 1st quarter. Revenue growth was the slowest it's ever been, well below what was expected pre-COVID https://www.theinformation.com/ ... Alexei Oreskovic / @lexnfx : Facebook took a machete to G&A spending in Q1, reducing the line item by 61%! That seems to be the big reason op ex stayed flat year-over-year while revenue grew 17%. Alexei Oreskovic / @lexnfx : Looks like FB had $3 billion in legal expenses in the year-earlier period, so that accounts for the big drop on the G&A line. Steve Kovach / @stevekovach : Facebook earnings story is largely the same as Google's yesterday. March was brutal, but signs of stabilization in the first few weeks of April.

Alexei Oreskovic / @lexnfx : Facebook's MAU to DAU ratio may be one of the longest running metrics streaks in earnings history. It's been 66% for probably at least five years now, i think.

Unless you are not Facebook, in which case staying alive is the new up. https://twitter.com/...

Queenie Wong / @qwongsj : Facebook's Q1 earnings: $17.7 billion in revenue vs. $17.4 billion expected. The company earned $1.71 below expectations of $1.75 per share.

    a jump from 2.89 to 2.99 doesn't seem that big but then you remember that's 100 million people and then it does seem big #analysis https://twitter.com/...

    The number of people using at least one of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger or WhatsApp each month: 2.99 billion. Might as well just round up to 3.

    FB reported earnings today and sales were up 18% for the first 3 months of 2020. Most of that was pre-Covid19 of course, but FB says that revenue through the first 3 weeks of April “has been approximately flat” compared to last year. Flat = OK! in 2020 Stock up ~10% https://twitt…

    Here's how Facebook thinks that the global pandemic is going to affect Facebook. Revenues will be down, because fewer people are advertising. Engagement will be up because people are bored. https://investor.fb.com/... https://twitter.com/...
