META

In the past six months (April - October 2026), Meta's stock increased by 11.53% in the month leading up to October 2026 and by 1.90% over the last 12 months. On September 24, 2026, shares reached $764.00 USD, their highest since September 2025, and earlier in September, hit a 9-week high of $686.03 USD. However, on October 9, 2026, shares declined by 0.2% following a Hunterbrook Media report on slowing growth for its Muse platform and a disclosed short position by Hunterbrook Capital. The stock was also down approximately 7% from its late-September peak due to concerns over safety shortcomings of its Muse AI agent, which The New York Times reported was launched despite internal warnings. In March 2026, a California jury found Meta and Google liable for harming a woman's mental health due to addictive design features, causing a 4.3% drop in Meta's shares on one day, following a 7.96% plunge the previous day. Despite these challenges, Meta's revenue rose 28% in Q2 2026, reaching $60.8 billion. As of October 10, 2026, Meta Platforms traded at $718.67.
