Facebook Is Now Meta
As CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised, Facebook is changing its corporate name to reflect a new focus on the metaverse. That name is Meta Platforms Inc.
“The metaverse is the next frontier,” Zuckerberg said at Facebook’s Connect conference on Thursday. “From now on, we’re going to be metaverse-first, not Facebook-first.” Zuckerberg sees a future in which people interact in virtual environments with lifelike avatars, as opposed to in-person or Zoom-type environments.
The existing Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp platforms will retain their names.
FB stock rose 1.5% to 316.92 on Thursday, but closed off session highs above its 200-day line. Shares had tumbled Tuesday on weaker-than-expected revenue and guidance.
Facebook, with its new name of Meta, will switch from the FB stock ticker to MVRS stock ticker on Dec. 1.
