Zuckerberg Adds $2.8 Billion to Facebooks Market Cap Over Night
Ah, the power of Zuckerberg.
Facebook's stock price was up nearly 7% as the market opened on Wednesday, following CEO Mark Zuckerberg's interview with TechCrunch the night before, his first interview since the company went public.
The company's market cap was $44.4 billion when the stock market opened (it has since dropped down slightly to just below $44 billion). When the stock closed at 4 pm yesterday, one hour before Zuckerberg took the stage, the company's market cap was roughly $41.6 billion. That means Zuck added $2.8 billion to Facebook's market cap overnight. Not too bad for an interview that only lasted for about half an hour.
