At $40bn, I dunno. FB's revenue & profits are pretty close to Yahoo's, whose market cap is at $20bn (though much of that is in assets).
So, just guesstimating here, with no growth FB can probably justify a $15bn value. Anything on top of that is a bet that they'll find some other way to grow the company. Certainly possible.
