It’s essential to monitor how certain events affect the fluctuation of asset prices, since various factors influence their movement.
We’ve created a handy chart showing the correlation between Meta’s stock price and significant world economy events.
Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) is among the most renowned American IT companies. It develops social networks, such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and others. In recent years, it’s been actively developing its metaverse and augmented and virtual reality technologies.
Here are the most significant events that have affected the company’s stock price since the beginning of this year:
On March 22, the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed doubts about the prospects of cryptocurrencies, calling them a threat to financial stability. It caused a collapse in the market for cryptocurrencies and tech stocks, including Meta’s.
On March 13, the media published the company’s plans to lay off about 10,000 employees and eliminate about 5,000 additional jobs. Meta’s stock price grew by more than 7% on March 14, rising just above $194 per share — well ahead of the market.
On Feb. 28, the stock price rose in response to the demand for AR and VR products, and analysts predicted further increase in the company’s revenue and user base.
On Feb. 1, the stock price rose by more than 23% after the company released its Q4 2022 earnings report. It provided an optimistic outlook for 2023 and announced a $40 billion stock buyback.
