Meta Stock (META) Before Market Open Dec. 26, 2025: WhatsApp AI Antitrust Pressure, Wall Street Targets, and the 2026 Spending Debate
Italy’s antitrust authority ordered Meta to suspend WhatsApp terms that could block rival AI chatbots, citing suspected abuse of dominance. Meta plans to appeal, calling the decision flawed. The stock last traded near $667.55, with regular U.S. trading set to resume Friday after the Christmas break. European regulatory pressure remains a focus for investors.
