Meta Platforms, Inc. (META)’s Shares Down Significantly Since Jim Cramer Said They Should Be Up

We recently published Jim Cramer’s Biggest Losers: 10 Stocks That Just Didn’t Work Out. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of the stocks discussed by Jim Cramer.

Cramer’s views about Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) are interesting to say the least. Since 2025’s second half, the CNBC TV host has consistently taken the contrarian approach with the firm. With media reports suggesting that Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) share price dips following earnings are often due to spending, Cramer has asserted on multiple occasions that the spending is justified. Last year, he maintained that aggressive capital expenditure was necessary for Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) to defend its social media moat against OpenAI. One dip in the shares came on June 5th when they closed 5.5% lower. On that day, unsurprisingly, the Financial Times reported that Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) was interested in raising capital through a stock offering to fund its AI capital expenditure. On July 2nd, the stock closed 2.9% lower, with a news report suggesting that the dip occurred due to analyst comments. Here is what Cramer had said about Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) in January:

“Their stock is very down very big, because they’re really a lone wolf when it comes to spending. “I do wanna point out that I think Meta should be up not down, because this is the stock that was most punished because Zuckerberg shouldn’t be going alone, particularly on the Entergy project, the nuclear project, I think Dina Powell, was very good, now McCormick, the senator’s wife, very good, her sovereign wealth initiatives at Goldman were probably the strongest. We should remember that this stock was in the 700s when Mark Zuckerberg said we gotta spend a lot more. He has not had anyone to lean back on, that stock will be up by the end of the day if there’s any sort of thought process going on.”
