A man poses in front of a sign of Meta, the new name for the company formerly known as Facebook, at its headquarters in Menlo Park, California, October 28, 2021. With Meta shares sinking to new lows, the social media giant is now the worst performer in the S&P 500 this year as of Thursday. In October, for instance, Meta reported its second straight quarterly sales drop and issued weak fourth-quarter guidance that was below analyst's expectations. But building the metaverse doesn't come cheap with Meta's Reality Labs business unit, which is overseeing its VR and AR initiatives, losing $9.4 billion thus far in 2022. "Beyond 2023, we expect to pace Reality Labs investments such that we can achieve our goal of growing overall company operating income in the long run," Meta said in October.
