Facebook Group: Meta pays dividend for the first time after strong figures. The owners will receive 50 US cents per share, the Facebook company said.
They also want to buy back additional shares with a volume of $50 billion. Meta shares then rose about 14 percent in after-hours US trading. Thanks to robust advertising revenue, the Internet company was able to surprisingly increase its sales by a quarter in the past quarter - to $40.1 billion. Earnings of $5.33 per share also exceeded forecasts.
