Facebook allayed some of the fears about its business on Thursday — by beating Wall Street’s estimates for its fiscal second quarter revenues and earnings.
Facebook posted revenues of $1.18 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.12. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters predict Facebook to report non-GAAP earnings $0.12 per share on revenues of $1.1 billion, which will be up about 5% from last quarter‘s $1.058 billion.
Advertising makes up the bulk of that; last quarter $872 million came from ads. Analysts were expected ad revenues of $921 million. Facebook beat that with $992 million in ad revenues.

Facebook’s shares were down 8.5% before the market closed, to $26.84. In after-hours, the stock was down another 5% to less than $26.
