Shares of Meta initially rose after the report but the gains were erased when Meta's finance chief Susan Li warned analysts about unpredictability in the Middle East. As a result of the conflict in Israel, Meta gave fourth-quarter guidance between $36.5 billion to $40 billion. Meta reported $34.15 billion in revenue for the quarter, up 23%, and the fastest rate of growth since 2021. Evercore analysts said "the BIG negative" from the call was that brand advertising demand has slowed as a result of the war. Despite the slowing brand advertising demand, the Evercore analysts said a lot is "working" at Meta.

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, spent the past two years weathering a slump in digital advertising and cutting costs. Profit was $11.6 billion, more than double the $4.4 billion from a year earlier. Meta’s growth was bolstered by a rebound in digital ads, which has also fueled the financial performance of other companies. On Tuesday, Google reported increased ad sales, with Snap also disclosing rising sales after revenue declined for two quarters. But Meta’s results were also helped by its cost cuts, as expenses fell 7 percent from a year earlier to $20.4 billion.

A Facebook sign is seen at the second China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, China November 6, 2019. Meta may be banned from operating in China, but the company is finding plenty of growth coming from the world's second-biggest economy. Susan Li, Meta's finance chief, told analysts on the earnings call that Chinese companies played a major role this quarter, continuing a theme from recent periods. Online commerce and gaming "benefited from spend among advertisers in China reaching customers in other markets," Li said. "Brazil was a strong contributor to the region's acceleration due in part to increased advertisers demand from China advertisers targeting users in Brazil," Li said.

Startup workers are on edge

In today's big story, we're looking at why startups that have navigated multiple rounds of layoffs have left their workers feeling defeated. It's a question more and more startup employees are contemplating amid a historic downturn in the industry coupled with a pullback in VC funding. But as Insider's Samantha Stokes and Madeline Renbarger detail, employees are on edge nowadays because of the threat of multiple layoffs in a short time. Why work for a corporate entity and be a cog in the wheel when you can get hands-on experience at a startup? AdvertisementAdvertisementiStock; Rebecca Zisser/InsiderBut just because layoffs are a necessary evil of the startup industry, that doesn't mean employees' concerns aren't warranted.

The $3.5 billion range ($36.5 billion to $40 billion) compares to a $2.5 billion range the company typically offers in its quarterly revenue forecast. Susan Li, Meta's finance chief, told analysts on the earnings call that the reason for the change is the unpredictability in the Middle East due to the Israel-Hamas war. At the mid-point of its guidance range, Meta would be expecting revenue of $38.25 billion, compared to the average analyst estimate of $38.85 billion, according to LSEG, formerly known as Refinitiv. For the third quarter, Meta beat on the top and bottom lines, boosting its shares in extended trading on Wednesday. Meta's commentary surrounding the Middle East conflict, which escalated this month after Hamas attacked Israel, follows cautionary statements from Snap on Tuesday.

Alphabet (GOOGL.O) and Snap surpassed third-quarter revenue expectations on Tuesday, with the tech giant seeing strong growth both at its core Search and YouTube units. Meanwhile, Snap's efforts to revamp its ad targeting tools with technology also paid rich dividends, as average revenue per user increased in the third quarter. "We expect the larger platforms like Meta and Google to lead the wallet share growth at least initially in this ad spend recovery," analysts at Evercore ISI said. Meta has also leaned heavily on AI-powered marketing planning and ad measurement features in recent years to drive its growth. "Facebook/Instagram's tools for creating a (marketing) campaign are vastly quicker and easier to use" than smaller rivals including Snap, RBC analysts said, which could potentially give Meta an edge.

CNN —Dozens of states sued Instagram-parent Meta on Tuesday, accusing the social media giant of harming young users’ mental health through allegedly addictive features such as infinite news feeds and frequent notifications that demand users’ constant attention. In a federal lawsuit filed in California by 33 attorneys general, the states allege that Meta’s products have harmed minors and contributed to a mental health crisis in the United States. “Social media companies, including Meta, have contributed to a national youth mental health crisis and they must be held accountable. Battle lines renewedTuesday’s multipronged legal assault marks the newest attempt by states to rein in large tech platforms over fears that social media companies are fueling a spike in youth depression and suicidal ideation. In some cases, the tech industry has challenged those laws in court — for example, by claiming that Arkansas’ social media law violates residents’ First Amendment rights to access information.

Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, on Tuesday reported that its revenue rose 5 percent in the latest quarter after two straight quarters of declines, as the digital advertising market rebounded. But Snap cautioned that the ad market remains unpredictable and that it has “observed pauses in spending from a large number of primarily brand-oriented advertising campaigns immediately following the onset of the war in the Middle East.”Revenue for the third quarter was $1.19 billion, up from $1.13 billion a year ago and above Wall Street estimates of $1.11 billion. In the previous two quarters, Snap’s revenue had fallen between 4 percent and 7 percent. The company remained unprofitable, recording a net loss of $368 million for the third quarter, which was wider than a loss of $360 million a year ago.
