Facebook Watch's Biggest Hurdles -- The Motley Fool

according to While the company is clearly willing to spend big money on advertising its new video platform, it might be overlooking the most obvious advertising platform for the service. Facebook doesn't seem to advertise Facebook Watch within Facebook itself. Tentpole contentOn top of the 50% of U.S. Facebook users who've never heard of Facebook Watch, another 24% have heard of it, but have never used it.

6 Simple Reasons Facebook Stock Will Rebound in 2019 -- The Motley Fool

Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) stock tumbled more than 20% this year due to concerns about its decelerating growth and ongoing privacy and security issues. A PEG ratio under 1 is considered undervalued, so Facebook's stock seems to be bottoming out at these levels. This means that Facebook is the cheapest FANG stock based on long-term earnings estimates. Any of those decisions could help Facebook's stock rebound.

Why Facebook Stock Jumped Today -- The Motley Fool

referring to What happenedShares of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) jumped today, closing up 8%, after Citron Research released a bullish research report. Citron considers the beleaguered social networking giant its "2019 S&P Stock of the Year," while assigning a price target of $160. (However, it's worth noting that Facebook has warned investors that expense growth will outpace revenue growth next year, pinching margins.)

Facebook Won't Move Forward With Selling Pay TV Subscriptions -- The Motley Fool

Speculation emerged last week that Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) could be building a pay-TV platform that could be part of Watch, the social networking giant's nascent video platform. It now sounds like Facebook has decided not to move forward with the plan. The level of sustainable engagement that Facebook can generate over time will be much more telling. Even YouTube is reverting back to monetizing original content with ads next year, while still selling premium subscriptions with other perks. Third-party premium channels are universally available across just about all major platforms, so trying to sell subscriptions wouldn't really differentiate Facebook Watch either.
