The team said, "FB continues to impress with the 4th straight quarter of accelerating revenue, a soaring mobile ad business (+258% Y/Y to $1.3B), meaningful margin expansion (82% gross mgn, +980bps Y/Y), the most users ever (1.28B), and the highest engagement ever (63% of users log in daily). We are raising our PT to $85 from $80 on the improved growth outlook."
