SAN FRANCISCO — Wall Street is running out of superlatives for Facebook....now 6th most valuable in S&P 500
"Ace Book." "Moving beyond the friend zone." "Liking the execution." Those were three of the research notes published by slack-jawed analysts following Wednesday's Street-beating quarterly results that solidified its position as one of the world's most powerful and top-performing technology companies.
Facebook far exceeded expectations for nearly every metric, even as other tech companies disappointed, sending shares soaring 11% to an all-time high of $120.79 and giving the company a $30 billion bump to its market cap.
Facebook is now the sixth most valuable company by market cap in the S&P 500, overtaking Johnson & Johnson.
Of the 49 analysts covering the stock, 45 rate it a "buy" or higher. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/04/28/facebook-6th-most-valuable-sp-500/83648484/ FB touches all-time high Range 116.96 - 120.79 52 week 72.00 - 120.79 Mkt cap 335.18B now 6th most valuable in S&P 500 117.54 +8.65 (7.94%) Real-time: 2:45PM EDT 4/28/2016 Thanks @Ted QQQ Top Holdings as of 04/27/2016 Top Holdings
