Facebook shares (NASDAQ:FB) closed yesterday’s trading session at a two-month low, reflecting a 10% downtrend from the January 52-week high. The company predicts a slowdown in revenue growth in the current quarter amid stricter rules for regulating confidentiality and advertising targeting.
The “advertising problem” could be a serious issue for Facebook as it tries to balance user experience to increase revenue. There has been a decrease in young users in the past few years.
However, investors should consider buying Facebook stock on a dip. It is unlikely that it will fall out of its number 1 spot for social media anytime soon.
Over the past week, Facebook shares fell by 6.28%. The S&P 500 index for the same period decreased by 4.57%.
