Facebook and other companies that went public recently will start reporting quarterly earnings later this month, generally for the July-September quarter.
Zynga Inc., the maker "FarmVille" and other online games, has announced that it expects a loss for the third quarter due to weak demand for some of its titles. It's also taking a charge related to its acquisition of OMGPop, a mobile game maker, which it bought for $183 million in March. Zynga's stock fell on the next trading day.
