Meta

<p>Technology giants Meta and Nvidia have seen more than $750 billion erased from their market capitalization compared to their recent highs. This massive correction shakes the markets and raises concerns about the strength of the tech sector, which until now has been the engine of the rising trend.</p>

A historic dive which caused a loss of $240 billion in market value in one session, an all-time record. Meta had already suffered a similar debacle on February 3, 2022, erasing then $232 billion.</p>

<p>During the <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1783247666329124880" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">earnings</a> call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted advances in AI, mentioning Meta’s Llama language models and the Meta AI conversational agent. However, he primarily focused on the heavy losses of the Reality Labs division, dedicated to the metaverse. This sector reports $3.85 billion in losses this quarter and has accumulated $45 billion in losses since the end of 2020.</p>
<p>While Zuckerberg promises that, in the long run, these bets will generate massive revenue, he admits they will require “multiyear investments” before becoming profitable. A too distant horizon for Wall Street, which fears the group will burn its cash in these uncertain projects. Especially since Meta predicts a significant increase in investment spending in 2024.</p>
