Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms rose 8.6% as its Muse AI agent led free U.S. iPhone downloads for three days, making Meta the largest contributor to gains in the Nasdaq and S&P 500. The broader rally was driven by a drop in oil prices and easing 10-year Treasury yields, which helped chip names like AMD and Intel surge. Analysts warn the advance depends on crude staying soft amid upcoming geopolitical events that could re-tighten energy markets. » Más en finance.yahoo.com

Meta Platforms is advancing new revenue streams alongside advertising with Meta One and Muse and plans to develop its own MTIA chips to reduce AI costs over the long term. The core business is growing strongly by 28%, and the stock has recently risen about 25% over four weeks. However, growth drivers face pressure from declining margins, which could become the decisive factor going forward. » Más en finanzen.net

The Frankfurt Regional Court ruled that Meta Platforms is liable for fraudulent profiles and paid advertising placements on Instagram and Facebook because the company controls the distribution of content through auctions and algorithms. The court found that Meta often reacted too late despite numerous warnings, thereby losing its liability protections; it imposed coercive fines of up to €250,000 per violation and ordered disclosure of view counts and advertising revenues. This opens the way for plaintiffs to claim damages for violations of personality and corporate rights, while purely chronological services like Mastodon are likely not affected. » Más en heise.de
