Meta Platforms, despite broader market concerns impacting tech valuations [4], [8], saw its stock rebound and is the only "Magnificent Seven" stock in positive territory for 2025 [4]. The company is viewed as a potential buying opportunity [2], driven by expanding AI capabilities, monetization of messaging services, and cost management efforts, including reduced equity-based awards [5].

However, Meta faces ongoing antitrust scrutiny [3] and a recent stock sell-off triggered a sell rule [8]. While a former employee's "tell-all" book and related lawsuit pose a minor reputational risk [10], routine stock sales by executives [11], [13], [14] and Mark Zuckerberg's pre-planned stock sales [15] don't indicate significant internal concerns. Meta's pledge to triple global nuclear power supply by 2050 highlights its focus on sustainable energy [7].
