Meta Platforms' stock has tumbled sharply in late March 2026, dropping nearly 8% in a single session amid a jury verdict deeming the company negligent in a high-profile lawsuit alongside YouTube over harms from addictive platform algorithms and inadequate content moderation safeguards. This regulatory overhang compounds investor unease over ballooning infrastructure costs for AI initiatives, including delays in the next Llama model successor—codenamed Avocado—due to underwhelming performance benchmarks. Despite solid Q1 revenue guidance from January earnings, competitive pressures in social media advertising and uncertain AI monetization timelines weigh on sentiment. Traders watch the Q1 earnings release around April 29 for capex updates and platform growth metrics, a pivotal catalyst before the end-of-April close.[[1]](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/META)[[2]](https://stockinvest.us/stock-news/meta-stock-price-took-a-fall-of-796-on-thursday-2026-03-26)[[3]](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/technology/meta-avocado-ai-model-delayed.html)[[4]](https://www.wallstreethorizon.com/meta-earnings-calendar)

If the final trading day of the month is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
The resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance — specifically, the Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) "Close" prices available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/META/history, published under "Historical Prices."
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Yahoo Finance.
