"The stock has delivered strong returns over the years, but occasional missteps -- like the billions spent on the metaverse with limited short-term payoff -- have raised doubts about capital allocation. Similar worries surface today around heavy AI spending. Yet beneath the surface lies a built-in competitive advantage that few rivals can match: an unprecedented scale of daily user interactions combined with a rapidly maturing AI layer stacked directly on top. This moat is widening fast, and its full potential is only beginning to emerge."
"Meta reaches more than 3.5 billion people every single day across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. That is not monthly or weekly usage -- it is daily active people scrolling, messaging, watching Reels, and sharing photos. No other consumer technology platform comes close to this volume of real-time human engagement. Every tap, like, video view, and message generates behavioral data that trains Meta's recommendation engines and large language models in real time."
Meta reaches over 3.5 billion daily active users across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, producing massive real-time behavioral data. Every interaction trains recommendation engines and large language models that improve personalization and product performance. AI-driven advertising tools now manage over $60 billion in annual spend with higher conversion rates and expanding margins. Reality Labs revenue is growing rapidly and shows a path toward profitability as AI-enabled glasses scale. Heavy prior investments produced limited short-term payoff, and current AI spending remains significant, but the company’s scale and integrated AI layer create a durable competitive advantage.
