Meta Platforms (META) is the social media and technology conglomerate that grew from Facebook, founded by Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard in 2004. The company rebranded from Facebook to Meta in 2021, putting its metaverse strategy front and center — but its core value continues to rest on the 3-billion-user advertising ecosystem spanning Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. A sweeping cost discipline initiative and heavy AI investment under the "Year of Efficiency" banner in 2023–2024 drove shares to all-time highs. More than 98% of Meta's revenue comes from digital advertising.
