Meta Platforms (META) stock dipped sharply 4% on March 30, closing at $536.38 after intraday lows near $520, primarily due to reports of layoffs affecting hundreds across teams amid escalating AI infrastructure costs—now projected up to $135 billion in capital expenditures for 2026. This followed announcements of new in-house AI chips, anti-scam AI tools on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Messenger, and a small business initiative to boost AI adoption, underscoring Meta's aggressive push in artificial intelligence and content moderation amid competitive pressures from OpenAI and Google. Shares rebounded to $579 by April 1, reflecting resilience in user engagement and ad revenue trends; traders watch Q1 earnings later this month for catalysts that could determine the week's close above key thresholds.

If the final session 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, delisting, 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."
