Meta Platforms reported strong fourth-quarter earnings, exceeding expectations despite a muted stock market reaction. High revenue growth stemmed from increased ad views and prices, although the first-quarter outlook was more conservative. Significant planned investments in AI data centers raised investor concerns, particularly given the emergence of cheaper Chinese AI models like DeepSeek R1. The company's Reality Labs segment continued to operate at a loss, and Meta's decision to halt share buybacks was also noted. Zuckerberg expressed optimism about the future, emphasizing American technological leadership in AI.
