Despite the continuous growth over the past 5 years Facebook should be still cautiously considered as they suffer from many external threats that are out of their control. Some of which being growth of user base and diversification of revenue sources beyond advertising. Due to these threats they presented in their previous 10-Q I would recommend a close watch on it to ensure profitability.
Analysts at every bank project FB to reach $190 to $200 and consider it a BUY at this moment due to increased advertising revenue from Instagram and Facebook. Strong guidance as Advertising becomes more specialized and integrated.
