FB shares close at $28, highest since July

Facebook shares closed today at $28, up more than 16 percent this week and hitting a new high not seen since July.

Shares have been on the rise now that major lockup periods have passed and a number of analysts have improved their ratings for the stock. Facebook’s Q3 earnings showed significant growth in mobile monetization and new partnerships for Facebook Gifts — including one with Apple announced this week — are driving increased optimism.

Until this week, Facebook hadn’t traded over $25 since July 26 when the company released its second quarter earnings.
