The whole market is up due to today's announcement of interest rates remaining the same, not any unique announcement to Facebook.


You could potentially explain the normal trading hours bump because of that, but the after hours is definitely on the earnings news.


Look at the after hours volume and price movement. It's definitely an earnings related move.

I'm not sure why this is modded down. There is a general trend up in the market over the past few days, and given that the FB price has recently been displaying a higher volatility than its peers, you would expect the kind of movement you are seeing with respect to the rest of its peers.


.. Are you serious?


Do you not look at facts backed by data? The whole market is up as of today. Heck, read the news: https://www.wsj.com/articles/global-stocks-waver-ahead-of-th...

The stock increase is not unique to Facebook today. ALL major tech stocks are up today.


The NYSE composite index is up by 1%. DOW by 2%. NASDAQ by 2%.

Facebook is up 4% in-hours, and 12% in after-hours trading.

Do you look at facts backed by data? FB is beating the market with a whip.


> Heck, read the news

Will do!
