Facebook stock follows market, falls rapidly

By: Sheraz Nasir, Uploaded: 1st June 2012



Facebook’s stock is falling with the broader market following a weak jobs report that showed the U.S. economy adding far fewer jobs than expected.

Shares of Facebook Inc. fell $1.68, or 5.7 percent, to $27.92 in midday trading Friday. That’s down more than 26 percent from its initial public offering price of $38. And it’s down about 12.5 percent for the week.

Facebook began trading on the Nasdaq two weeks ago Friday on a day marred by trading glitches and general investor confusion. The IPO capped the worst week for the U.S. stock market so far this year.

Baird analyst Colin Sebastian started coverage of Facebook’s stock Friday with an “Outperform” rating and a target price of $37. The keyword, he says, is potential — in advertising, payments and e-commerce.
