On July 17, Meta Platforms fell 3.32% in regular trading, trading at approximately $636.46/share, with turnover of $24.4 billion. The decline was driven by broad-based selling pressure across the Interactive Media & Services sector, with major peers uniformly declining: Alphabet down over 2%, Reddit down 2.1%, Baidu down 3.8%, and Snap down 2.88%.
The current session extends a two-day correction pattern. The previous trading day, Meta had already dropped 3.03% amid concentrated tech sector selling, with the Nasdaq Composite falling more than 1% and semiconductor and AI-related stocks facing heavy selling pressure. Meta has now fully retraced its 3.07% gain from earlier in the week when AI infrastructure expansion news had boosted sentiment.
The company is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on July 29, with consensus EPS expectations at $7.09. Analysts maintain a broadly positive outlook, with a mean price target of $821.60 according to FactSet.
