We view Meta as the clear winner in social media. The firm’s application lineup, which includes Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, has close to 4 billion monthly active users, giving Meta unmatched scale in the sector.
Meta's core advertising business has benefited greatly through improved ad targeting and content recommendation algorithms as well as a secular increase in digital advertising spending.
Meta's investments in Reality Labs and generative AI stand to lose the firm billions of dollars annually, taking some of the shine off its overall business.
