Facebook shares tank; Diageo soaks up strong gin sales

Published: 20:50 26 Jul 2018 AEST

Markets.com chief market analyst Neil Wilson says Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) shares took a hammering in after-hours trading following a revenue miss and an earnings call that left investors sweating.

Shares dipped by 24% at one point as the company advised that revenues would continue to slow down and costs rise.

He also takes a look at ITV plc (LON:ITV) as well as Sky PLC (LON:SKY) reporting a strong uplift in earnings and customer numbers.
