Meta Platforms Inc. is facing severe financial challenges, posting losses exceeding $9.4 billion from its Reality Labs division and announcing the layoff of 11,000 employees, marking its largest workforce reduction ever. The company has seen a 4% decline in sales year-over-year and a staggering 19% increase in expenses, intensifying pressure as it grapples with a plummeting stock price that has dropped from $338 to $111.45. Amid these difficulties, CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledges past over-hiring and aims to pivot towards growth via WhatsApp and Messenger, while increasing AI adoption to tackle advertising technology issues.
