1312 ET - The adoption and commercialization of Meta Platforms' artificial-intelligence products will be key to understanding the returns on its AI investments, Morgan Stanley analysts write in a note. Unlike Amazon or Google, "META doesn't have a surging hyperscale business to showcase ROIC (and forward revenue visibility) right now)," they write. "As such, go-to market, adoption and commercial behavior (and productization) of next-generation Muse-enabled products," they add, "are going to matter to giving the market confidence in multi-year revenue durability and ROIC." Meta lifts its outlook for capital expenditures this year by $10 billion, and shares are slipping 9%. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
