Facebook Earnings: 3 Metrics to Watch

With earnings season nearly upon us, it's a good time for investors to start deciding what companies' reports they'll want to check on. One stock I'll be watching this month is social network giant Facebook (NASDAQ: FB). The tech giant's stock has slipped more than 14% over the past month as the negative press from The Wall Street Journal and an overall challenging period for growth stocks have weighed on shares.

With so much attention in the press, and considering the stock's recent slump, many people will likely be watching the social network's earnings report closely. Here are three metrics worth checking on when the report is released.
