Description: META Meta Platforms December 02, 2025
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) develops and operates a suite of social and communication applications-including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads, and WhatsApp-under its Family of Apps (FoA) segment, while its Reality Labs (RL) segment focuses on consumer hardware and software for virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences.
As of Q3 2024, Meta reported total revenue of $34.1 billion, driven primarily by advertising sales, and its monthly active users (MAU) across all apps reached approximately 3.1 billion, indicating continued scale despite competitive pressures.
The company’s growth is closely tied to macro-level digital ad spend trends and the broader adoption of immersive technologies; a 2023-2024 industry survey estimates the global AR/VR market will expand at a compound annual growth rate of roughly 23 % through 2027, providing a long-term tailwind for Reality Labs.
