There has to be some incredible lag in the news media, to be reporting this at this time when Meta managed to almost triple its stock price in less than a year. Meta beat all analyst estimates in its earnings call, whatever Meta is doing it’s working. My only regret is not investing enough into Meta when it was 90$ (Now it’s 240$)
- awegio 3y agoWell, it's about workforce, not the shareholders. There is probably some correlation between morale and stock price, though.
- sneed_chucker 3y agoThere's a major correlation at a company like Meta where a huge chunk of your compensation is payed in stock grants.
- rchaud 3y agoCutting workforce to boost margins is MBA management 101. Every exec does this, for precisely the sentiment in your comment: it makes shareholders think the CEO is a genius.
- cipheredStones 3y ago> at this time when Meta managed to almost triple its stock price in less than a year What are you talking about? Meta stock is up 14% from a year ago, down 26% from two years ago. It was last at a third of its current price eight years ago. Edit: Oh, I get it. You're selectively measuring from its low point six months ago - when it had fallen 75% from its 2021 peak.

- sp527 3y agoPrediction: generative AI is going to obviate the status signaling value of social media and quickly render it a pointless exercise, with attendant attrition. People are severely underestimating the impending psychological impact of social media achieving essentially the apotheosis of frictionless fakery. Meta is in huge trouble and so are its investors.
