Nihal Dhruva's Contributor Page


Last Updated: July 26, 2020 (Prior to the 2Q2020 earnings release).​
View: Bullish
Model Description: 
While some companies have greatly suffered as a result of COVID-19, Facebook has been able to excel in certain areas. Specifically, Facebook's MAU's (Monthly Average Users), has spiked in all regions through the first quarter of 2020, while another key metric Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), has decreased during this period. With the expectation that COVID-19 will still be prevalent in some areas in the near future, and less prevalent in other areas, my forecast was primarily altered with respect to those expectations. While I do have the expectations that things will return back to normal by 2021, I have kept my estimations higher than historical average, based on the belief that people will continue to use Facebook in a variety of ways, especially small businesses who are looking to make an e-commerce presence, and using Facebook as their main platform of business and advertising.​
