Total return given to investors by Meta Platforms Inc.

Meta has given investors strong returns. TSR in 2024 was 66.4% and 20.5% annualized from 2021-2024. Annual returns: 12.74% in 2025, 65.42% in 2024, 194.13% in 2023, but -64.22% in 2022.

Impact of US government policies on Meta Platforms Inc.’s products and services

American government policies have a big impact on Meta. The FTC accused Meta of monopoly over the Instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions, but in 2025 the court ruled in Meta’s favor. The FTC is appealing. The Trump administration scrapped AI safety measures and encouraged AI development. Privacy laws like the CCPA and GDPR limited ad targeting. Meta settled with Trump for $25 million, changing content policies. $14 million spent on lobbying to influence AI policy. Changes in content policy increased the risk of violence. Overall, regulations reduced ad revenue, but Trump’s deregulation proved beneficial.
