ValueAct has taken a $1 billion position in Meta Platforms, aiming to enhance profitability by trimming inefficiencies, particularly in the Reality Labs (RL) division, which currently detracts from earnings. With a projected EPS of $30 by 2026, the core Family of Apps (FoA) segment is expected to drive significant value, while AI investments could bolster growth. Despite Meta's controlled structure under Mark Zuckerberg, ValueAct's expertise in corporate governance positions it well to influence positive change.

Seems like the connection with the server has been lost. It can be due to poor or broken network. Please hang on while we're trying to reconnect...
Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
