Despite year-over-year losses (4% for Q4 and 1% for the entire year), Meta's Q4 revenue was on the high end of the $30-$32.5 billion estimate that it <a href=\"https:\/\/investor.fb.com\/investor-news\/press-release-details\/2022\/Meta-Reports-Third-Quarter-2022-Results\/default.aspx\">predicted previously<\/a>. The firm also announced a $40 billion buyback today.<\/p>\n<p>That news has positively affected the value of META stock, up 2.79% over the day. META has risen from $148.01 to $153.12 over the past several hours.<\/p>\n<p>Meta also reported that its Reality Labs division saw $4.28 billion in operating losses in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $13.72 billion in operating losses over the entire year. According to reports from CNBC, the division's fall in revenue seems to be due to declining sales and a need for VR technology that can be used with its devices.<\/p>\n<p>Reality Labs is responsible for Meta's &#8220;metaverse&#8221; products, including services such as its Horizon Worlds game and products such as its Quest headsets. Reality Labs also became responsible for various artificial intelligence (AI) projects beginning in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>However, Reality Labs's metaverse ambitions are best known in the crypto community for spurring the trend of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in virtual reality projects. Horizon Worlds features in-game tradable items, and although it does not use NFTs as the basis for those items, competing blockchain projects have capitalized on the similarity.<\/p>\n<p>The crypto-based VR world Decentraland saw its <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/decentraland\/\">MANA<\/a> token gain about 550% over November 2021, just after Meta announced its metaverse plans at the end of October 2021. The Sandbox similarly saw its <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/the-sandbox\/\">SAND<\/a> token gain 850% that month. Several mainstream companies also began pursuing metaverse and NFT plans then.<\/p>\n<p>Hype around the trend died down in 2022, and the tokens named above have fallen back to baseline prices. Today's news suggests that the trend could wane further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta \u2060\u2014 formerly Facebook \u2060\u2014 reported positive news for general investors but bad news for those interested in its virtual reality (VR) division in its Feb. 1 earnings report.
