Meta, the social media giant behind Facebook and Instagram, experienced a rollercoaster ride in the stock market recently. Despite a big earnings beat in the first quarter, the company's stock plummeted by 10% due to weak revenue guidance. Investors were initially optimistic after Meta's robust growth showcased its recovery in recent years. However, the shaky guidance left many questioning the company's future trajectory.

In a surprising turn of events, Meta's stock plunged further by 18% as a light revenue forecast overshadowed the better-than-expected results for the first quarter. The company's struggle with meeting investor expectations became evident, reflecting a turbulent period for the tech giant. Despite reporting strong Q1 earnings, the stock continued to slide, highlighting the disconnect between performance and market sentiment.

As the saga continued, Meta stock dropped by 10% following a disappointing second-quarter outlook despite beating analysts' expectations in Q1. The double whammy of higher spending on AI and underwhelming growth expectations for the June quarter contributed to the downward spiral. The uncertainty surrounding Meta's future investments and revenue streams added fuel to the fire, causing a ripple effect across the stock market.

In a final blow, Meta's stock plunged 15% as the company revealed plans to heavily invest in its future, signaling a shift towards greater innovation but triggering immediate market apprehension. Despite the positive earnings beat, Meta's stock struggled under the weight of aggressive AI spending plans, leaving investors wary of the company's next moves.
