Facebook Stock Analysis - Slower Growth, Higher Valuation

Modern Value Investing with Sven Carlin - A podcast by Sven Carlin

Facebook stock is up more than 100% over the last year but the growth rate actually slowed down over the past year. A growth rate at 10% is much different than a 15% or 20% growth rate especially when the valuation is not 20 anymore by 40. So, now, Facebook stock is not a value investment anymore but a speculative investment based on hopes of business growth, Facebook shop and all other things that were there too when the stock was at $122 just a while ago. Therefore, I sold by Facebook shares as I am not an investor that just hopes on valuation expansion based on some growth. I will keep following FB stock and watching for investing opportunities. If the stock doubles next, well so be it. I this video I give an overview of Facebook's earnings, the growth situation and the stock valuation.
