Here are Wall Street’s expectations:

  • EPS: $ 0.15
  • Revenues: $ 1.53 billion

There are two big questions Facebook will answer today.

If the answer to both is “yes,” then that means Facebook earnings will grow rapidly for the next few quarters. The market usually loves that.

Those questions are:

  • Facebook managed to re-accelerate advertising revenue growth during Q3. Did revenue acceleration continue in Q4? If growth is greater than 32% y/y, the answer is yes, and that’s good.
  • Facebook’s operating profit margin is expected to have bottomed in Q3. Did operating profit margin expand in Q4? If operating margins are greater than 12.13%, the answer is yes, and that’s good.

At 5PM eastern, Facebook will host an earnings call. We’ll take live notes in this post.
