This is only the second time since the company went public in the middle of May that the stock has been able to string together two winning sessions in a row. Facebook shares, which have rebounded 17% from the post-IPO low of $25.52 set on June 6, are now back above the low end of the initial expected IPO range of $28 to $35 (it was later lifted to $34 to $38). But the stock is still down 21% from the IPO price of $38. The stock has stabilized as investors begin to get more comfortable with Facebooks planned strategy to monetize its growing mobile user base via targeted ads. With mobile users, the goal is to deploy targeted ads that are most relevant based on location and timing. Facebook looks to increase user engagement with targeted ads and hopes this strategy will be an easy one to sell to advertisers.
