Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: META) is a global technology company that builds products enabling people to connect and share across mobile devices, personal computers, VR headsets, and AI glasses. The company operates through two main segments: Family of Apps (FoA), which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads, WhatsApp, and the Meta AI assistant; and Reality Labs (RL), which focuses on virtual and augmented reality hardware, software, and content, including the Meta Quest line of VR devices and AI-powered eyewear such as Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses.
Within the Communication Services sector, Meta sits in the Interactive Media & Services sub-industry, where its core business model has historically been built on advertising revenue generated across its large social platforms. The Reality Labs segment represents a separate, more capital-intensive effort tied to the development of metaverse and wearable computing technologies.
The company was incorporated in 2004 as Facebook, Inc. and rebranded as Meta Platforms, Inc. in October 2021. It is headquartered in Menlo Park, California, and reports collaborations with major technology partners including Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom, and OpenAI.
