Did you know that Facebook earned $11.22 billion, or $3.88 per share, in the October-December period, well above the $3.19 that analysts expected and up 53% from a year earlier?
Revenue grew 22% in Q4 to $28.07 billion. Facebook’s monthly user base grew 12% to 2.8 billion. The company also ended 2020 with 58,604 employees, a 30% increase from a year earlier.
While Facebook does not break out how much it makes from Instagram, which it owns, eMarketer estimates that the app accounted for 36% of Facebook’s total advertising revenue and nearly half of its U.S. ad revenue.
