According to a report by Axios, Meta has struck several commercial AI data agreements with publishers including USA Today, Fox News, and Le Monde. 

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Meta’s metaverse rollout struggled from the start, hampered by poor adoption.</li><li>Reality Labs has become a significant financial drag, posting massive operating losses that now look increasingly unsustainable as AI capex demands rise.</li><li>The company is prioritizing AI leadership over reviving its metaverse vision.</li></ul>Has Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse dream come crashing down? It has been four years since the billionaire took the leap of faith toward the concept, reasoning that it was the successor to the mobile internet.If rumors are anything to go by, Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) is mulling cutting 30% of the budget earmarked for the metaverse.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Big Vision That Didn’t Quite Take Off</h2>Announcing the fancy concept at the Meta Connect 2021 conference, the company defined it as a “set of interconnected digital spaces that lets you do things you can’t do in the physical world.” Zuckerberg was so enamored with it that he wanted to abandon the company’s identity as a social-media platform and rebrand it as Meta, which had previously been known as the flagship Facebook app.&nbsp;The metaverse heavily drew on Augmented Reality (AR), a technology that lets users augment their physical environment with digital elements, and Virtual Reality (VR), which gives users an immersive experience of a virtual world. During the metaverse’s unveiling, the company announced its flagship product, the Horizon Homes, a homebase in the metaverse, where you can invite friends, hang out with them and play games together by putting on your Quest VR headset.&nbsp;As opposed to Meta’s internal target to hit 500,000 monthly active users for its Horizon Worlds, a social platform optimized for the metaverse, by the end of 2022, it could only hit 200,000 by October, forcing Meta to revise down its estimate, according to&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1362347/meta-horizon-worlds-users/#:~:text=In%20October%202022%2C%20Meta's%20Horizon,Meta%20Quest%202%20VR%20headset.">Statista</a>.&nbsp;Monthly Active Users Of Horizon Worlds (2022)<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:745/491;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_12_05_at_3_02_47_AM_png_4e9d34257e.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 3.02.47 AM.png" width="745" height="491"></figure>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Source: Statista&nbsp;Poor user adoption, expensive hardware requirements, not-so-good user experiences, and a lack of compelling content all served as handicaps.<h2 class="st-heading-2">AI - The Metaverse Killer?</h2>Metaverse, which was housed in the company’s Reality Labs business,&nbsp; didn’t quite take off as Zuckerberg expected. A year from its launch, another buzzword bulldozed its way into the tech world, smothering Zuckerberg’s new fad. But the metaverse had its inherent pitfalls, keeping the technology from taking off in a big way. When asked about Meta’s metaverse at the 2022 WSJ TechLive conference, Microsoft Gaming Head Phil&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Yl0cW4t8kE&amp;t=72s">said</a> it’s a “poorly built video game.”The launch of OpenAI’s large language model (LLM), ChatGPT, in late 2022, set off the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, spawning an ecosystem of players, both builders and consumers, around it.&nbsp;According to Wedbush’s Daniel Ives, the AI revolution is here to stay despite all doomsday talks. In a recent note, the analyst called AI the fourth industrial revolution and said the “tech cap-ex supercycle” will drive it over the next few years. He sees big-tech capital expenditure on technology at $500 billion to $600 billion in 2026.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/META">Meta’s stock</a> has begun to turn the corner after the ravages seen since it hit a peak in mid-August as the broader market shook off AI bubble fears and set its eyes on a potential rate cut in December.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Reality Labs’ Dismal Showing</h2>Reality Labs, Meta’s research arm for AR/VR hardware and software, emerged from the company’s push into immersive technologies and was built around Oculus VR, which Meta acquired in 2014 for $2 billion in cash and stock. Oculus is the progenitor of today’s Quest headsets. Although there’s no single moment that clearly marks the division’s formal creation, Meta celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, with the Oculus acquisition widely regarded as its starting point.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:600/371;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Meta_s_Reality_Labs_Annual_Performance_in_Billions_png_952e481204.webp" alt="Meta's Reality Labs Annual Performance (in Billions).png" width="600" height="371"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Source: Meta&nbsp;For the first nine months of 2025, the division has generated $1.06 billion in revenue and incurred $12.76 billion in operating losses.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Meta Seeks Redemption?</h2>As Meta’s capex needs surge, the company can’t afford to keep pouring money into a hole. Several prominent voices on Wall Street have already accused it of propping up profits with questionable accounting choices.&nbsp;To stay competitive in the AI race, Meta may need to adopt a more disciplined approach — one that could force Zuckerberg to let go of his once-cherished vision. Signs suggest he may already have moved on, given the breakneck speed of Meta’s AI push, from forming a Superintelligence group to building massive data centers and aggressively recruiting top AI researchers. Even with these concerted efforts, whether Meta can close the gap with its megacap peers in foundation models — and deploy AI features profitably across its core businesses — remains an open question.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/jensen-huang-thinks-we-ll-all-run-our-own-mini-nuclear-reactors-in-our-backyards-amid-ai-power-crunch/cLILvtvRESK">Jensen Huang Thinks We’ll All Run Our Own Mini Nuclear Reactors In Our Backyards — What Today’s AI Power Crunch Really Looks Like</a>

Zuckerberg’s Metaverse Was Supposed To Change Everything — Instead, Meta Seems To Be Pulling The Plug After Burning Billions

The <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MAGS">Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS)</a>, considered a proxy for the performance of seven megacap names, has advanced nearly 23% this year.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Meta Attractively Valued</h2>The relative stock underperformance has rendered the social media giant's valuation attractive vis-à-vis its Mag 7 peers and the S&amp;P 500. According to Yardeni Research, the S&amp;P 500 forward price-earnings (P/E) multiple is 22.4, and that of the Mag 7 group is 28.9.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/S_and_p_500_valuation_png_b7d311fe71.webp" alt="S&amp;p 500 valuation.png">Source: Yardeni ResearchMeta's forward P/E is currently at 21.74. Incidentally, all the other Mag 7 stocks trade at a premium to the S&amp;P 500 Index and Meta.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Mag_7_Forward_PE_multiples_png_92e181ad22.webp" alt="Mag_7_Forward_PE_multiples.png">Source: Fiscal.ai<h2 class="st-heading-2">Investors Unfriending Meta</h2>The second leg of weakness came in late October, when Meta shocked the investing community by reporting an unexpected third-quarter loss. Trump was again blamed for Meta's predicament, as his "Big Beautiful Bill Act" required the company to record a hefty $16 billion tax provision. But the saving grace is the company's reassurance that its tax bill will be significantly lower for the rest of the year and also in the future.Meta investors were also spooked by management's commentary on higher capital expenditures. Co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, however, painted a rosy picture of the company's Superintelligence Labs, a division set up earlier this year that brings all its AI efforts under one roof, with the mandate to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI).Rubbing salt to the wound, fund managers and skeptics began calling for an AI bubble burst and for accounting irregularities by hyperscalers to window-dress their profits.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Will Meta Get Back In Favor?</h2>Barring any macroeconomic setback or a marketwide correction, the odds of the stock returning to its heyday are high. It set a fresh peak (intraday) of $796.25 on Aug. 15, and is down about 20% since then. According to Koyfin, analysts' average price target for META is $841.27 —&nbsp;which implies that the stock is trading at a 31% discount from that mark.As recently as Tuesday, Evercore ISI <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://in.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/evercore-isi-reiterates-meta-stock-outperform-rating-sees-whatsapp-as-40b-business-by-2030-93CH-5132892">maintained</a> an 'Outperform' rating on Meta stock and its $875 price target, according to Investing.com. The optimism is based on a sum-of-the-parts valuation, as the firm views the Instagram business as a $40 billion business by 2030, generating $20 billion in operating income and $7.15 in earnings per share.According to the firm, Meta is pursuing AI leadership from a "Clear Position of Strength," buoyed by a robust online advertising market, strong user and engagement growth, increasing monetization effectiveness, and additional growth opportunities in core Meta products like Threads, Meta AI, and Facebook Marketplace.But retail investors have turned wary. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward the stock has been 'bearish' for a week. One user even viewed Meta's AI implementation as "horrible." Most bearish watchers are bracing for a move toward $400.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/crowd-strike-zscaler-palo-alto-fortinet-which-cybersecurity-stock-will-win-next-year/cLIaSlnRE0A">&nbsp;CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Palo Alto, Fortinet: Which Cybersecurity Stock Will Win Next Year?

The one bright spot for Meta AI was foreign language translation, he said.According to Munster, Meta’s bet that the AI on users’ faces will be the next computing platform will only work if the assistant is easy to invoke, clearly grounded in what you’re seeing, and specific enough to deliver actionable answers. “Our follow-up testing reinforces that Meta isn’t there yet.”Meta’s AI glasses with Display have a starting price of $799.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Alibaba Threat</h2>The Chinese company launched new Quark AI Glasses series—three stylish variants of the flagship dual-display S1 and three sleek versions of the camera-first G1, available in multiple frame colors and lens options.

ETFs to Gain as Alphabet Nears $4 Trillion in Market Cap

Page, with a net worth of $276 billion, is now ranked second, with Brin closely behind, lagging by only $18 billion.&nbsp;Over the year, Brin and Page have boosted their net worth by about $99.3 billion and $108 billion, respectively.The duo has relegated Oracle founder Larry Ellison, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg to fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively.

They named it BackRub before renaming it to Google.Since then, Google, rechristened Alphabet in 2015, has added several sum-of-the-parts, including the YouTube video streaming business, the thriving cloud computing business, the Waymo self-driving subsidiary, and other services such as Android OS and Google Maps.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Google Sits In AI’s Sweetspot</h2>The company has been rapid with innovation, and the latest iteration of its Gemini large language model (LLM), Gemini 3, is seen as a potential threat to market leader ChatGPT.&nbsp;Alphabet is reportedly now considering selling its&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/alphabet-closes-in-on-4-trillion-market-cap-on-rumors-meta-turning-to-google-tp-us/cL52Rp0REXb">in-house AI chips,&nbsp;</a>the TPUs, for deployment in clients' data centers.
