Here is what Weitz Investment specifically said about Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Facebook parent Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) was the portfolio’s top year-to-date detractor. Fears of a recession and a resultant pullback in ad spending have added insult to injury as Meta attempts to gain traction with its short-form video product called Reels. Meta’s progress in monetizing Reels and the heavyweight bout with video-sharing app TikTok for consumers’ attention are clearly the main event, but we are also encouraged that, behind the scenes, management is taking a more disciplined approach to investing and expense management. Investors looking for greater detail on Meta are encouraged to read equity analyst Jon Baker’s Analyst Corner feature from earlier this year.”
