Model Description: In forecasting Facebook's Q2 earnings, Management guidance and Facebook's response to the pandemic were major factors in their projected income statement. As a result of increased stay-at-home orders, Facebook's Monthly Active Users (MAU) is projected to increase significantly which will augment revenue. Although ad demand lowered temporarily, ad prices are projected to continue rising. Thus, ad revenue will continue to grow all across the globe. Additionally, the tax rate will remain constant at 18% for the upcoming quarters. Furthermore, based on the $52-$56 billion range Facebook management provided, expenses are projected to be on the lower end of the range. Revenue, Net Income, and EPS is projected to rise significantly for Facebook in the coming quarters and next year. However, Facebook may experience slow growth at the end of the year and beginning of 2021 as the pandemic guidelines are lifted. In conclusion, Facebook will continue to increase in value as the tech industry trends upward.
