Facebook hits $1T market cap as FTC antitrust lawsuit is dismissed
SHARE
Shares in Facebook Inc. surged today following a court ruling dismissing an antitrust complaint brought by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
The 4% rise in Facebook’s share price catapulted the company’s market cap to $1 trillion for the first time. In passing $1 trillion, Facebook has become the fifth listed company in history to reach the mark behind Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc. and Google LLC’s parent Alphabet Inc.
The surge in Facebook’s shares came just before 3 p.m. EDT as news broke that the federal court had dismissed the FTC’s antitrust case along with a parallel case brought by 48 state attorneys general.
