FB taking down AAPL and GOOGL after hours is kinda hilarious. FB is having trouble partly because AAPL kneecapped their ad tracking. And GOOGL is clearly doing better than ever, even if FB isn’t. But FB results take down all of tech.

But FB results take down all of tech. I have a feeling that this has turned into a generic "excuse" for many companies to explain why they are underperforming. Meanwhile, iPhones are still a relatively small percentage of mobile phones being used across the world. Think about it ... FaceBook has 2.91B MAU (Monthly Active Users), I doubt even a third of them use iPhones, and probably some percentage of the iPhones in use are older ones with less identity protection. Furthermore, they can still sell ads on more private iPhones, just somewhat less targeted ads.

But FB results take down all of tech. But the numbers point to the market still being a bit crazy. That is, if expectations were accurate and meant anything. Looks like they hit expectations on all fronts, except EPS. There they missed by 17 cents, off of $3.64, so less than 5%. finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-q4-earnings-2021-161355797.htmlOf course guidance and forward looking estimates is what really matters. And we all have head plenty of times where whisper numbers are ahead of analyst estimates, so just hitting public estimates isn't enough. But off 21% in AH, or 34% from their ATH. That seems excessive, and unless there is quite a bit more to it I doubt that will hold into open hours unless the whole market drops significantly, and I can't image it will hold until next week. While not a FB fan or investor, their P/E is about what AAPL has. We'll see. AAPL is down about half a percent, but AMZN, GOOG, NFLX and TSLA are down 2-3%. Strange. But sometimes AH trading is.

We had all the market tumult over the fed then goog, aapl and msft's remarkable earnings calmed the waters. Now earnings/outlook from the likes of pypl, fb etc are putting the overall market on edge again. Just what we didn't need right now...
