Facebook Parent Meta’s Stock Crash
When the market was closed on Thursday, Meta was trading at $237,76, while Twitter, Snap, and Pinterest were all trading less. Earlier, the market capacity of Meta was around $900 billion. In the last quarter, Meta reported revenue of $29 billion, which was on par with the analyst. After the pandemic throughout 2020, its revenue and earnings growth went down slowly. In Q3 2021, the active users of Facebook dropped to 1.929 billion from 1.930. Within these months, the company lost around a million users. Since most of Meta’s revenue depends on its advertisements via different online platforms, a drop in active users points to a decline in the ad revenue from these entities, including Facebook and Instagram. As reported by Forbes, the earnings call revealed that the company spent $10.1 billion on its metaverse plans in 2021.
