META

Meta's stock experienced volatility in the past six months. Senator Angus King Jr.'s spouse divested Meta stock, and insider trading data showed net selling among executives. Shares slid after the company raised its spending outlook for the year, projecting capital expenditures between $125 billion and $145 billion, reigniting fears about AI investments. Regulatory concerns regarding social media trials also pose risks. Despite these pressures, Meta started fiscal year 2026 strongly, with revenue growing 33% to $56 billion, benefiting from improved ad targeting and increased digital advertising spending.
