description: "Good grief, META has me confused again. The metaverse is still a work in progress, and now they’re pushing AI. Ads have recovered a bit, but Apple’s privacy policies are still a major pain, and cost pressures remain high!Can AI really take over ads as a cash cow? Honestly, I’m doubtful. But trading volume is up, and short-term traders have a sharp nose for these things. Buybacks are steady, and true to form, they’ve never paid dividends — that’s just how they roll.Everyone’s focused on the AI and short-video battle, with Microsoft and Google eyeing the action. META’s competition is almost a physical force. Executive changes and personnel shifts keep happening. The atmosphere is tense but definitely lively.$Meta Platforms(META.US)"
