Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter expects Facebook's Q1 results above consensus estimates driven by continued audience and engagement growth, with an overall minimal impact from heightened scrutiny over privacy concerns. Notwithstanding heightened scrutiny and elevated legislative and regulatory risk, the analyst expects Facebook to weather the controversy surrounding its Cambridge Analytica data breach, and to continue to invest in various initiatives, with the majority, if not all, of those initiatives generating substantial EBITDA growth in years to come. Pachter reiterates an Outperform rating and $260 price target on the shares.
