Facebook MAU's Are Growing Like Clockwork

Facebook Inc FB blew their second quarter earnings results out of the water Wednesday afternoon, thanks in part to their monthly active user (MAU) growth. 

As of June 30, Facebook's MAUs were 1.71 billion. That's a 15% increase year-over-year. Of that total, 1.57 billion (or about 92%) came from mobile. Mobile MAUs saw a 20% increase year-over-year. 

Here's a chart (courtesy of TechCrunch) of Facebook Inc FB's  monthly active users (MAUs) since the fourth quarter of 2013. You can see the trend. Note: The chart does not include first quarter MAUs for 2016. Total MAU's were 1.65 billion as of March 31, 2016, up 15% year-over-year, and mobile MAUs were 1.51 billion, a 21% year-over-year increase.
