Focus on the basics :

The company has posted strong double-digit and triple-digit revenue growth over the past four quarters, which is a very good performance, especially for a company of this size. Shareholders are also pleased with the doubling of revenue growth in each of the last four quarters. The company is well positioned for future growth, especially since Alphabet (Google's parent company) just closed after announcing strong results. This is good for meta platforms.

From where I sit, the most important feature I look for during the reporting season is how the market and a particular company reacts to the news. Remember, always keep your losses small and don't argue with the tape.
