Bernstein upgraded Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) from Market Perform to Outperform with a price target of $33.00 (up from $23.00).

The firm sees Facebook beating average revenue estimates over the next 12-24 months as monetization of Newsfeed inventory drives growth.

While Bernstein is upgrading the stock, they call Facebook a "risky investment" dependent on unproven success of social advertising, realization of platform opportunity and possible new businesses.
