Meta posts sharply higher Q4 profit, revenue, topping Wall Street's expectations

Meta Platforms Inc. posted sharply higher profit and revenue for its fourth quarter on Wednesday, thanks to higher ad revenue on its social media properties, sending its shares up in after-hours trading even as it forecast increasing expenses on its artificial intelligence efforts. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he expects 2025 to “be the year when a highly intelligent and personalized AI assistant reaches more than 1 billion people, and I expect Meta AI to be that leading AI assistant.” “We continue to make good progress on AI, glasses, and the future of social media,” Zuckerberg said in a statement.
