Five Star Equities Provides Stock Research on Facebook and Zynga
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/19/12 -- Social media stocks have lost their appeal among investors in 2012 as many companies have seen shares drop below their IPO valuations with some recently hitting new 52-week lows. Shares of Facebook and Zynga fell after a report released by Capstone Investments showed that the number of users of the social media site has declined. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Social Media Industry and provides equity research on Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) and Zynga Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA).

Rory Maher, a Capstone analyst, said in the report that in the last six months Facebook users in the U.S. declined 1.1 percent. Maher added that 14 of the 23 countries in which Facebook had at least a 50 percent market penetration either decreased or saw little change in the last three months.
"This could be an issue for Facebook growth since we estimate that outside of Southeast Asia and some countries in Latin America, most markets are approaching 50 percent penetration," Maher said in the report.
