Meta Platforms Inc shares rose about 23% on Thursday and helped spark a rally in the technology sector after the Facebook owner floored Wall Street by slashing its spending forecast and boosting its stock buyback plan by $40 billion.
"That is rare," analysts at Evercorse ISI said, referring to the positive developments. "And stocks react to rare."on Tuesday that had sent tech shares lower.
"There is also a less hawkish Fed , which is also boosting demand for growth and tech stocks generally."Meta now expects its 2023 expenses between $89 billion and $95 billion, a sharp drop from its previous outlook of $94 billion to $100 billion, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg calling the period a "Year of Efficiency."
