GDPR, Mark Zuckerberg’s testimony before congress, and more scandals didn’t stop Facebook from reaching 2.23 billion monthly users, up 1.54 percent, much slower than Q1’s 3.14 percent growth rate. Facebook earned $13.23 billion in revenue with $1.74 EPS compared to Thomson Reuters consensus estimates of $13.36 billion and $1.72 EPS. > Daily active users reached 1.47 billion, up 1.44 percent percent compared to Q1’s 3.42 percent. Facebook’s daily and monthly user counts were up 11 percent year-over-year, confirming that the momentum of its business is still overpowering its PR problems.
