Meta's stock faces near-term pressure from its planned May 20 layoffs of roughly 8,000 roles, or 10% of the workforce, as part of an efficiency drive to fund aggressive artificial intelligence investments. The company recently beat first-quarter expectations with 33% revenue growth and raised its full-year capital expenditure forecast to $125-145 billion, primarily for data centers and hardware supporting Llama large language models. Traders are watching how the layoffs and ongoing AI spending shape sentiment, alongside Meta's push to expand ad revenue through AI-driven tools on Instagram and Facebook platforms. No major product launches or regulatory resolutions are scheduled for the immediate week, leaving the outcome sensitive to broader market moves and any last-minute updates on Llama development timelines.
