That puts the stock above $78 for a new all-time high.

Facebook delivered$2.91 billion in revenue, up 61% year-over-year, beating expectations of $2.81 billion. EPS was $0.42, up 121% year-over-year, and well ahead of expectations of $0.32. 

Facebook’s operating margins hit 59%, an all-time high, which helped fuel the profit growth.

And then there’s the future. Facebook has Instagram, WhatsApp, Messages, Oculus, and much more to fuel its growth in the long run.
