Meta shares drop


Meta's shares tumbled after the company posted mixed results on its third-quarter earnings report, beating analysts' revenue forecasts but offering a weak outlook for the upcoming quarter.

The Facebook parent company posted $27.7 billion in revenue for the third quarter, higher than the $27.4 billion predicted but 4% less than the same period last year. Its earnings per share, which accounts for expenses, were $1.64 – lower than the $1.89 predicted.

Meta invested heavily in new products this quarter, with total costs and expenses up 19% year-on-year.

This comes as the tech industry and the market at large struggles with economic headwinds, including rising inflation and fears of a recession.

Meta's shares are trading about 60% lower than they were at the start of the year, wiping hundreds of billions off the company's value.

Facebook parent Meta #META reported its Q3 earnings on Wednesday meeting expectations on revenue and offering lighter than expected guidance for Q4.

Here are the most important numbers:

Revenue: $27.7 billion versus $27.4 billion expected

Earnings Per Share (EPS): $1.64 versus $1.89 expected

Facebook Daily Active Users (DAUs): 1.98 billion versus 1.86 billion expected

Facebook Monthly active users (MAUs): 2.96 billion versus 2.97 expected

Reality Labs operating loss: $3.67 billion versus $3.09 billion expected

Shares of the company fell more than 11% following the report.
