Facebook has hit a new high on Thursday after posting better-than-expected results during the fourth quarter of 2013.
In early trading on Thursday, Facebook shares jumped to $62.28, a new 52-week high for the company's shares. As of this writing, Facebook's stock has cooled off a bit to $61.19 -- a 14 percent gain.
The strong showing this morning is largely the result of Facebook's strong performance last year. Facebook said Wednesday that it generated $7.9 billion revenue last year, up from the $5.1 billion the company tallied in 2012. Facebook also grew its profits from $53 million to $1.5 billion.
The soaring shares have, of course, helped the company's value jump significantly. As of this writing, Facebook is valued at $150 billion.
