Facebook Earnings: Bigger is better

In news that will surprise few, Facebook has reported that it's gotten bigger, and much richer.

Cash cow

Facebook's Q3 Earnings Report shows the company raked in US$7.01 billion in revenue.

This blew away analyst expectations of US$6.92 billion, who predicted Facebook was reaching saturation points with ads.

It appears this is not so.

Join the party

Facebook now has 1.79 billion monthly users, marking 16% year-on-year growth. 

This quarter was particularly good for Facebook in terms of user numbers, growing 4.67% (up from 3.63% in Q2.)

Daily active users jumped from 1.13 billion to 1.18 billion over the quarter.

Make it rain on mobile

Facebook now has 1.66 billion mobile monthly users, this marks a 5.7% increase from the previous quarter.

Mobile now accounts for 84% of Facebook's ad revenue. While this figure has remained static since the last quarter, it marks an 6% increase since Q3 2015.
