Facebook share were down in pre-market trading today, spelling some possible erosion in the share price in Thursday trading section complete.

Share on Facebook are down 5 percent today to $ 29.68 in pre-market trading. Shares ended the day at $ 31.24 yesterday, up significantly from 52 weeks now down $ 17.55.

During this period, the company's revenue rose 40 percent year-over-year to 1.59 billion. Facebook has also been able to show a net profit of 17 cents per share, exceeding Wall Street estimates.
