Barron's: A Return Visit To Earlier Stories: What's Next
For Facebook
By Andrew Bary

      (FROM BARRON'S 7/29/13)
      Facebook dealt a big blow to its doubters -- including Barron's -- last
week when it reported its best quarterly results since going public in May 2012.
The company's second-quarter revenue and profit handily topped Wall Street
estimates, prompting a surge of eight points, or 30%, in its share price to
$34.
      Facebook's headline earnings of 19 cents a share excluding stock-based
compensation topped the consensus of 14 cents and were up 58% from 12 cents
in the year-earlier period. Revenue gained 53% to $1.8 billion, and mobile-
advertising revenues, the company's focus in recent quarters, totaled $656
million, about $200 million above estimates.

       Even with the Standard & Poor's 500 index at new highs, there still are
plenty of stocks with a single-digit price/earnings ratio.
      Within the S&P 500, about three dozen stocks are valued at less than 10
times projected 2014 earnings; the nearby table identifies 15 low P/E gems. The
single-digit group includes such well-known companies as JPMorgan Chase (ticker:
JPM), Apple (AAPL), Citigroup (C), Deere (DE), General Motors (GM), MetLife
(MET), Prudential Financial (PRU), and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).
