The shares of
Meta,
the company that owns
and
Instagram,
shot up to 18% in the
after-hours
market , minutes after presenting better results than anticipated by analysts in the last quarter of the year.
Daily active users on Facebook surpassed 2 billion for the first time, helping generate
$32.165 million
in Q4 2022 and
$116.609 million for the full year, down
4% and 1%, respectively, from 2021 A reduction in income, yes, but less than expected by Wall Street.
"Our community continues to grow and I'm pleased with the strong engagement in our apps. Facebook just reached the
2 billion daily active users milestone,"
said
Mark Zuckerberg,
founder and CEO of Meta.
"The progress we're making in AI and
Reels
are the main drivers for this."
Much more pronounced was the drop in profits: 55% compared to the same quarter of 2021 and 41% less year-on-year.
It's a reflection of a troubled 2022 for the
Menlo Park, California-based company.
Factors such as the growing competition with other platforms, such as
TikTok
and
Snap,
the decrease in advertising investment due to the economic climate, and the change in
Apple
's rules regarding the privacy of its users have affected its results.
Only in that last chapter, Meta already warned that the
losses would be around 10,000 million
dollars by 2022.
In the end, the year ended with a
decrease of almost two thirds of its value on the stock market,
exceeding
600,000 million dollars.
For those who have just started, the strategy involves considerably reducing expenses and betting on artificial intelligence, in addition to improving their tools to improve their ad targeting system.
By 2023,
"the year of efficiency,"
as Zuckerberg has dubbed it, operating expenses are expected to be no more than $95 billion, down from the $100 billion initially forecast.
Likewise, they trust that the
commitment to artificial intelligence
will bear fruit.
They have already begun to notice it in the increase in the time that users spend connected to the
Reels
, short video stories.
It has grown 20% in recent months thanks to improvements in its algorithms.
