About Meta
Meta is the largest social media company in the world, boasting more than 3.5 billion monthly active users worldwide. The firm's "Family of Apps," its core business, consists of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. End users can leverage these applications for a variety of different purposes, from keeping in touch with friends to following celebrities and running digital businesses for free. Meta packages customer data, gleaned from its application ecosystem and sells ads to digital advertisers. While the firm has been investing heavily in its Reality Labs business as well as its AI model development, both of these remain very small parts of Meta's overall sales.

Bulls say / Bears say
Advertising remained highly dynamic in Q3: impressions rose 10% and the average price per ad rose 14%, helping revenue grow 26% to $64.6 billion. (Meta)
Meta’s apps still reach a vast and growing audience, with 3.64 billion daily active people in September, up 3% year on year. That scale supports its ability to attract users and advertisers. (Meta)
Meta says AI is already lifting advertising revenue through stronger engagement, recommendations and monetisation. It expects Q4 revenue of $73–76 billion and says it is positioned for strong revenue growth through 2027. (Meta)
Reality Labs continues to consume substantial resources: Meta expects losses of $18–19 billion in 2026 and about $15 billion in 2027. That ongoing drag could weigh on returns even as the company shifts investment towards AI. (Meta, MarketWatch)
