Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) faced concerns about declining ad spending from Chinese e-commerce brands like Temu and Shein due to the tariff war and changes in import tax exemptions. Despite fears, Meta's latest earnings report revealed a 16% year-over-year revenue increase to $42.31 billion, significantly exceeding analyst expectations. With earnings per share surging to $6.43, AI played a crucial role in this success. Furthermore, a portion of the lost ad spend from Chinese exporters has been redirected to other markets, mitigating some negative impacts.
