One brave creator at Meta's "Instagram University" event, which gathered emerging creators, social-media managers, and journalists at Meta's Hudson Yards headquarters on October 6, did just that. "I just have a baby beef with Instagram," a beauty creator blurted out during a Q&A session wrapping up the event. Citing Meta's "really rough" last year, Mosseri said matter-of-factly, "I couldn't afford to run that program in the US." Mosseri did not indicate when exactly the right moment would be to bring back bonus payments to the US, however. This wasn't the only question creators had for Mosseri, who welcomed audience members to tell him what they wanted Instagram to change.

Johnson & Johnson is a buy after the company's consumer business spinoff earlier this year, according to RBC Capital Markets. The firm initiated Johnson & Johnson with an outperform rating and $178 price target, which suggests shares can climb about 14.5% from Wednesday's close. This separation has "unlocked potential" for Johnson & Johnson going forward, analyst Shagun Singh said. Singh also said the company's pharma franchise is poised to deliver competitive growth and that its medtech division is on pace to achieve "top-tier growth and profitability." The analyst added that Johnson & Johnson is trading below its historical multiples despite its improved financial profile since its Kenvue spinoff and that the company has potential upside from further M & A activity.

Meta's Threads real-time messaging app is struggling to attract new users like it did during its blockbuster July debut. Insider Intelligence said it expects Threads to have 23.7 million U.S. users in 2023, far behind Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, which have 177.9 million, 135.2 million and 102.3 million users, respectively. When Threads debuted, it rapidly gained millions of users due in part to its easy sign-up process for existing Instagram users. "Threads received an initial boost from Twitter's missteps, but it can't rely on X defectors to continue to grow," Insider Intelligence principal analyst Jasmine Enberg said in a statement. "Assuming Musk doesn't backtrack, the move will likely alienate more X users and potentially increase advertiser interest in Threads," Enberg added.

Generative AI advancements can help Microsoft bounce back from its recent losses, according to Guggenheim. Analyst John DiFucci upgraded the stock to neutral from sell, saying the "potential monetary benefit from Generative AI is too strong a force to contend with" despite the company's recent underperformance. The analyst removed his price target on the stock as he believes the stock is trading around a fair valuation. Prior to the upgrade, DiFucci was the last analyst with a sell rating on Microsoft, according to FactSet. Guggenheim expects Office to continue to benefit from these factors, even aside Generative AI, he said.
