Tech giant Meta Platforms (META) is reportedly in discussions with its partner, eyewear company EssilorLuxottica (ESLOF), to double the production of its AI-enabled\u00a0Ray-Ban smart eyeglasses by the end of this year. A production target of 20 million units or more has reportedly been set, with the option to increase to more than 30 million if needed.<\/p>\n
Meta is experiencing \u201cunprecedented demand\u201d for its eyeglasses, so it has paused the product\u2019s international rollout. While it\u2019s not ideal to delay the international launch of the eyeglasses, the company is expected to overcome this hurdle soon.<\/p>\n
These developments are part of Meta\u2019s shifted focus toward artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, the company launched its \u201cMeta Compute\u201d initiative to develop AI infrastructure while managing its worldwide data centers and supplier collaborations in its quest for superintelligence.<\/p>\n
Amid this new focus on AI, should you buy, sell, or hold Meta\u2019s stock?<\/p>\n
Meta Platforms ranks among the largest tech companies, driving global connectivity through its flagship social media and messaging platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. \u00a0Its sophisticated advertising network leverages data-driven targeting to connect businesses with audiences across apps and external sites. The company has a market capitalization of $1.56 trillion.<\/p>\n
Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has gained only about 1.46%, while over the past six months it has declined by 11.76%. The stock had reached a 52-week high of $796.25 in August 2025, but is down 22% from that level. After the company reported its third-quarter results, the stock dropped 11.3% intraday on Oct. 30, 2025.<\/p>\n\n
Meta\u2019s price-to-earnings GAAP forward ratio of 26.79x is higher than the industry average of 17.55x.<\/p>\n
In October 2021, the company changed its name from Facebook to Meta Platforms, reflecting its shift toward the metaverse, which was marketed as a virtual space where people can work, play, and socialize. Now, over four years later, the company is changing its focus toward AI.<\/p>\n
In its third-quarter earnings release, Meta highlighted plans to accelerate its AI infrastructure and increase capital spending. The company plans to nearly double the prior year\u2019s outlay to a range of $70 billion – $72 billion.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
