Push to integrate AI into Meta products boosts financial results, with sales and profits beating analysts’ expectations
Meta’s drive to integrate artificial intelligence into its products yielded strong financial results for the second quarter in a row. But its share price slumped more than 12% as the company reported earnings Wednesday, as a weak sales forecast and higher spending guidance rattled investors.
Revenue at the world’s largest social media business increased 27% to $36.46bn during the first quarter in contrast to analyst expectations of $36.16bn. Earnings per share more than doubled to $4.71, surpassing expectations on Wall Street of $4.32.
