Meta Platforms shares, recently trading near $550 amid an 18% year-to-date decline, face near-term pressure from an active California trial alleging deceptive design of Instagram and Facebook that encourages compulsive use by minors, with potential penalties reaching $1.4 trillion. Traders are weighing this litigation risk against Meta’s robust advertising revenue—up 28% year-over-year to $60.8 billion in Q2—driven by AI-enhanced recommendations, even as elevated 2026 capex of $130–145 billion for data centers and custom chips weighs on margins. The company’s launch of the Pocket AI app and plans to monetize excess compute capacity add longer-term bullish catalysts, but the trial’s daily developments and any broader tech-sector moves will likely dictate weekly price action around current levels.

If the two specified prices are exactly equal, this market will resolve to "No".
Closing prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) does not trade at all during the regular session of the final trading day of the week, the market will resolve 50-50.
For a standard full trading session, the closing price refers to the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of regular trading hours on the primary exchange. If the relevant session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of that shortened session will be used.
If the relevant day has no valid Pyth Close value for the 1-minute candle corresponding to the end of regular trading hours on the primary exchange, the market will use the last valid Pyth price achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange as the effective closing price. If no valid Pyth price exists for that trading day due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption, the official closing price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine the closing price for that day.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed security during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market will be Pyth, specifically the "Close" values for the relevant 1-minute candle for Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.META%2FUSD.
