Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, experienced a significant decline in its stock value, the worst in three years, as they announced higher artificial intelligence (AI) spending. This decision is sparking investor concerns about increased financial exposure. Despite strong growth and earnings surpassing estimates, the company announced a $16 billion tax charge, prompting the stock price to drop further. Meta's aggressive AI investment plans, contributing to higher future expenses, have added to investor worries and contributed to the bearish sentiment.
However, some financial analysts see this as a buying opportunity, expecting the company's AI endeavors and ad strength to potentially reap benefits in the future, while others maintain a cautious stance, describing Meta as being stuck in 'near-term purgatory'. The company has also announced plans for a bold $30 billion bond sale to fund its ambitious AI expansion, causing a further stir in the market. Despite these turbulent times for Meta, Jim Cramer advises buying the Meta plunge but warns that timing will be crucial.
