After months of being down and out, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) may have just changed the narrative around its business in a big way. In October, the Magnificent Seven stock tanked 11% after its Q3 earnings report, driven by fears of out-of-control artificial intelligence (AI) spending.
However, the company looks to have redeemed itself with its Q4 2025 earnings report, released on Jan. 28. The stock was up approximately 8% in after-hours trading as of 7:00 p.m. ET. Meta is forcing skeptics to reassess the company’s outlook, with growth now taking center stage over spending worries.
