Can Meta’s Social Media Empire Survive the FTC Antitrust Trial?
SHARE

Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, is a tech giant that thrives on its social media ecosystem. With major platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp under its belt, Meta has established itself as a key player in the digital world. The company’s revenue and growth are heavily reliant on its social media presence, making it a crucial component of its long-term success.

Despite Meta’s impressive performance in the social media arena, its dominance is facing scrutiny in the ongoing FTC antitrust trial. The trial questions the company’s acquisitions and market power, potentially reshaping its future in the social media landscape. The outcome of this trial could have far-reaching implications for Meta and its position in the industry.

According to Main Street Data, Meta’s Family of Apps (FoA) unit, which includes Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Threads, generated a whopping $47.3 billion in revenue in Q4 2024, accounting for over 97% of the company’s total revenue for the quarter. The family daily active people (DAP) for Meta reached an average of 3.35 billion in December 2024, marking a 5% year-over-year growth.

In terms of profitability, Meta reported an operating income of $28.3 billion for its FoA unit in Q4 2024, representing a 35% year-over-year growth and contributing to 58.6% of the company’s total revenue. The average revenue per person (ARPPU) also saw a significant increase, reaching $14.3 in Q4 2024, a 15.6% rise compared to the previous year.

The FTC’s antitrust case against Meta alleges that the company’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp were anti-competitive tactics to maintain Facebook’s dominance in the social networking market. The trial, overseen by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, could potentially lead to the forced sale of Instagram and WhatsApp, although appeals could delay any breakup for years. The outcome of this case will determine Meta’s future as a dominant force in the social media sphere.

Despite the regulatory challenges, Wall Street analysts remain optimistic about Meta’s prospects. META stock has a consensus Strong Buy rating, with an average price target of $715.3, implying a 43% upside from current levels. This positive outlook reflects confidence in Meta’s ability to navigate the evolving social media landscape and continue its growth trajectory.

In conclusion, Meta’s social media prowess is undeniable, but regulatory hurdles pose significant challenges to its future. As the company navigates through the antitrust trial and potential regulatory changes, investors will be closely watching to see how Meta adapts and evolves in the ever-changing digital landscape.
