Meta Platforms Inc. is set to reduce its workforce by 20,000 jobs, citing a need for restructuring to tackle an AI-driven labor crisis. Despite this significant reduction, the company's core advertising business has provided a 15.7% revenue growth and fueled confidence from hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who increased his stake to 2.7 million shares worth $1.8 billion. As Meta grapples with rising operational costs and external pressures, JP Morgan's recent target price raise to $675 indicates a positive outlook for the company's future.
