The social media giant shows strong year-over-year (YoY) growth but is it enough for investors? In today's video, I look at fundamentals and recent earnings for Facebook (META -0.52%), and below I share a few highlights from the video. 

  1. On July 28, after the market closed, Facebook reported its Q2 2021 earnings. Facebook revenue grew 56% YoY, driven by solid growth in its advertisement segment. Facebook did note that it expects a significant deceleration in growth for Q3 and Q4 on a sequential basis. 
  2.  Facebook reported nearly 2.9 billion monthly active users, representing both quarterly and yearly growth. Most of the increase comes from international countries, excluding the U.S., Canada, and European countries. 
  3. During the earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg provided insight into Facebook's future growth. Facebook is currently focusing its resources on strengthening its content creator platform, e-commerce, digital payments, and augmented and virtual reality hardware. All these markets are strong as individual segments, but Facebook has a long-term plan of uniting them all in its quest to create a metaverse.
