Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) grew by 2.12% to $172.40. We expect FB shares to take a further beating when the company reports earnings on April 22. Specifically, we expect FB to retest its annual low of $137, which would take it approximately 12% below the April 3 levels, or potentially go lower if FB shares further decline with the market in the next two weeks.
