Description: META Meta Platforms September 24, 2025

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) develops a suite of social and communication products that let users connect via mobile devices, PCs, and emerging reality hardware. The company operates two primary segments: Family of Apps (FoA), which includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads, and WhatsApp, and Reality Labs (RL), which focuses on consumer virtual-, augmented-, and mixed-reality devices, software, and content.

FoA drives the bulk of Meta’s revenue through advertising and payments, leveraging formats such as feeds, reels, stories, groups, Marketplace, and messaging services. RL is a longer-term growth engine, investing heavily in hardware like the Meta Quest line and software platforms that aim to build a “metaverse” ecosystem.

Recent performance metrics (Q2 2024) show Meta reporting $34.2 billion in revenue, a 7 % year-over-year increase, with daily active users (DAUs) across its apps reaching 2.1 billion, up 3 % YoY. The Reality Labs segment posted a $2.3 billion loss, reflecting continued heavy R&D and inventory buildup, but Quest 3 shipments grew 28 % quarter-over-quarter, indicating traction in the premium VR market.

Key economic and sector drivers include: (1) the overall health of digital advertising spend, which remains sensitive to macro-economic cycles and corporate budget allocations; (2) the competitive pressure from short-form video platforms (e.g., TikTok) that forces Meta to innovate its reels and Reels Play features; and (3) the pace of consumer adoption of AR/VR hardware, which is still nascent but expected to expand as content ecosystems mature and device prices fall.
