Meta Platforms Inc. shareholders are paying dearly for its spending on the metaverse: The Facebook parent’s market value has collapsed by a whopping $677 billion this year, forcing it out from the ranks of the world’s 20 largest companies.

VIDEO SIGN OUT

Meta was the sixth biggest U.S. company by market capitalization at the start of the year, flirting with a $1 trillion market value. Fast forward 10 months and the stock will be worth about $258 billion, ranking it 26th. Its market value is now smaller than companies including Chevron Corp., Eli Lilly & Co. and Procter & Gamble Co.Once a Wall Street darling, Meta is gradually losing favor with brokerages.

The decline in the stock this year has attracted value investors, who buy beaten-down stocks in anticipation of a turnaround. But there’s no sign of those bets paying off any time soon.

Psychopath

The whole meta concept is probably 10-20 years from being meaningful, at least in terms of making money at least. This money pit will be the ruin of Facebook.
