Revenue: $13.23 billion vs. $13.36 billion per a Thomson Reuters consensus estimate

That is not worth a 20% drop in stock price.

Yup, both the earnings and revenue misses were relatively small.

However, fb's forward revenue guidance was the shocker: ~10% drop next quarter, and another ~10% drop two quarters from now. If you add that up, fb is telling us that they are forecasting a 20% revenue drop in 6 months. That's as klunkish as the side-o'-beef being chucked into her scooby van on 9/11/16.

So the after-hours traders traded appropriately.
