The company beat analysts' expectations by posting revenues of $ 5.38 billion (52 percent year on year), with most predictions expecting a total of $ 5.26 billion. In addition, Facebook's net income almost tripled compared to the first quarter last year to hit $ 1.51 billion.

Fundamentally, the largest social network in the world continues to attract more users, its global user base reaching 1.65 billion in the quarter, compared with 1.44 million a year ago. Not only that, people are also using Facebook more, with the company reporting that 66 percent of monthly active users (MAU) connected to the platform every day, an increase of 1 percent over the same period the year past.
