About Meta Platforms, Inc.

Its Reality Labs business develops virtual- and augmented-reality hardware, software and related products, representing a much smaller activity than advertising. Meta also invests heavily in artificial intelligence to improve recommendations, advertising and new products. The company generated $201.0 billion of revenue and $60.5 billion of net income in fiscal 2025, compared with $164.5 billion and $62.4 billion, respectively, in fiscal 2024.

Notable Price Movement

1. Aug 3-7$587.945.61%

   Meta fell $5.47, or 0.92%, from $593.41 to $587.94 over the measured week. Trading was highly volatile: shares dropped 1.3% on July 29 and another 8.0% on July 30 on investor concern about the scale and payoff of Meta’s AI spending, following recently disappointing second-quarter results and a reported 91% decline in free cash flow. The stock then rebounded 3.3% on July 31 and 6.0% on August 3, recovering most of the earlier losses as broader technology stocks rallied. Monday’s move tracked a market-wide easing in Middle East tensions, with the Nasdaq 100 up 1.78% and S&P 500 up 1.48%. Meta gave back 0.4% Tuesday.
