. The company noted a drop in advertising revenue in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, but is now seeing signs of stabilization. "After the initial steep decrease in advertising revenue in March, we have seen signs of stability reflected in the first three weeks of April, where advertising revenue has been approximately flat compared to the same period a year ago, down from the 17% year-over-year growth in the first quarter of 2020," Facebook said in its earnings report.
"The April trends reflect weakness across all of our user geographies as most of our major countries have had some sort of shelter-in-place guidelines in effect.""We know economists are calling broadly for a GDP contraction in Q2 that's pretty substantial globally," Wehner told CNBC's "We know that advertising tends to be very sensitive to the macroeconomic climate. We really have a very cautious outlook on how things are going to develop."
