On October 10, 2025, Meta Platforms' stock closed at $705.30, down 3.85%, as global markets reacted negatively to escalating US-China trade tensions. These tensions have raised concerns about supply chain disruptions and increased operational costs, particularly affecting the tech sector. Meta's significant investment in hardware, such as VR devices, makes it vulnerable to these disruptions. Despite a positive rating from Citizens Bank, Meta's stock declined, reflecting broader market apprehension. The company's metaverse ambitions and VR market position are also under scrutiny due to ongoing financial losses in its Reality Labs division.
