Facebook (FB) Q1 2014 Earnings Preview: Profits Continue To Grow From Mobile Advertising

Facebook Inc.'s (NASDAQ: FB) recent multibillion-dollar acquisitions may have spooked investors and triggered a stock market slide, but they're not likely to impact the social media giant's ability to make money in the first quarter of 2014. The Menlo Park, Calif.-based social networking company is expected to continue its steady earnings growth when it releases a report on Wednesday after markets close, thanks to an increase in mobile users and improved tools to advertise to them.
