Facebook is surging
After the market close on Wednesday, Facebook reported a 52% spike in revenues to $5.84 billion, and a 21% jump in monthly active users (MAUs) to 1.59 billion.
Virtually every chart of Facebook's active users is headed in one direction, and that's up.
The company earned most of its revenues from advertising, and highlighted growth in video and Instagram monetization in the quarterly results.
As Business Insider's Jillian D'Onfro wrote, the company is crushing it on mobile, as more people access Facebook from their smartphones than from any other platform.
The company's stock is up 21% over the past 12 months, and was one of the so-called FANGs (including Amazon, Netflix and Google) that propped up the stock market last year.
The pre-market rally in the stock to about $107.50 per share puts it on track to open at the highest levels since November.
