SunTrust analyst Youssef Squali maintained a Buy rating and $200 price target on Facebook following the departure of Instagram co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. In a research note to investors, the analyst notes that the departures are the "latest in a string" of high profile departures in recent months, including WhatsApp co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton and VP and General Counsel Colin Stretch, and follows a restructuring earlier this year that reorganized the entire company. Squali contends that Instagram is "in a good place" and is being left with "stable footing," as well as "impressive" growth in users as Stories DAUs, adding that product cadence has slowed and it is entering a new phase of its life. Squali feels a deeper integration with Facebook could lead to an improved advertising product and monetization, which Systrom and Krieger may have been more resistant to, and does not see any material changes at the Facebook unit in the near-term.
