Meta Down, Others Up

Meta Platforms is increasing its spending, which is not helping its stock price but is giving a good boost to other companies.

Key Details

  • Shares of Meta dipped 23% as the company had a poor third-quarter earnings report.
  • The big drop in shares was a disappointment for many, but a few companies actually benefited from Meta’s loss.
  • Meta says it plans to increase spending on data-center and network infrastructure giving a boost to some stocks in the related fields.

Why it’s news

Meta didn’t have a good third-quarter earnings report sending shares plummeting to its lowest point since 2016.

The parent company of Facebook reported quarterly revenue of $27.7 billion Wednesday, a decline of more than 4% year over year and its second straight quarterly decline making the company’s profit plummet  52% to $4.4 billion, according to CNBC writer Sofia Pitt.

Meta might be having a hard time from this downfall, but others are benefiting. The company said it plans to increase spending on data-center and network infrastructure in turn giving a boost to some stocks in the related fields. 

Meta is a top customer of networking hardware provider Arista Networks. After the spending announcement it caused Arista stocks to jump 11% on Thursday morning.

Other companies that had a boost from the increased spending were Nvidia that went up 5%, Marvell technology went up 7% and Advanced Micro Devices went up around 3%.


Meta said in its third-quarter earnings that it expects capital spending in 2022 of $32-$33 billion and in 2023 it expects that to rise to $34-$39 billion, according to Barron’s writer Adam Clark.

Investments in unassuming companies may yield better results than investments in exciting, active businesses. 

Key Details

  • Fund manager Clifford Asness has taken a different strategy than some of his peers, choosing not to focus on growth stocks.
  • In the short term, Asness’ firm AQR was outpaced by its competitors, but now that tech stocks are declining, Asness’ method is beginning to pay off, Forbes reports.
  • At AQR, portfolio managers focus on value stocks, believing that, over time, these investments will have a more significant payoff than hot-growth stocks. 
  • Value stocks tend to be slow-growth, unexciting investments such as Stellantis. Ferrari is the opposite, an exciting, quickly-growing organization.
