Meta stock rises after hours as new AI lab hits milestone, FTC appeal adds overhang
Meta shares rose 1.5% to $612.96 in after-hours trading Wednesday after CTO Andrew Bosworth announced internal rollout of new AI models. The FTC said it will appeal a judge’s dismissal of its antitrust case against Meta’s Instagram and WhatsApp deals. In Britain, regulators accused Meta of failing to stop illegal gambling ads on its platforms. Meta will report fourth-quarter results January 28.
