Once upon a time, after growth companies would shift from a growth stock to a stable stock. Instead of telling wall street "you can make money here" it would mean "you can keep your money relatively safe here". We apparently don't do that anymore. Seems like it would have been perfect for them.
That would work if they had a stable business model and produced something everybody needed or wanted, like diapers or alcohol. Their entire business model requires they keep users engaged and user count growing.
People will leave Meta the more Meta tries to make more off of a stagnant userbase, which will death spiral.
For sure, they don't know how to be a stable revenue, or how to retain users. So we get this clusterfck
"like diapers or alcohol" lol. That resonates to me as a parent
we used to call that 'value investing' and get rewarded with reliable dividends. useful during periods of high interest rates, which stunted growth.
