Facebook Inc Earnings Model (Saechao)​

Author: Chris Saechao, Published: July 27, 2020 7:40pm, Category: Earnings Preview (Prior to the 2Q2019 earnings release)

Summary of Model: ​This model uses Monthly Active People (MAP) growth rates and Average Revenue Per Person (ARPP) to project future revenue, and ratio analysis to complete the income statement. A multiples valuation was used to determine Facebooks 12-month target price. The models FY2020, and FY2021 are calibrated to consensus estimates with quarterly deviations based on my view of macroeconomic business conditions.
