Meta is an American multinational technology conglomerate. It owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, among other products and services.
Odaily reports: Meta Platforms (META.O) is facing an investigation by UK regulators, who are concerned that the company's commercial terms may impose "exploitative" conditions on publishers and advertisers.The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said on Friday that it will investigate whether Meta is using its commercial terms to abuse its market dominance, thereby "unfairly harming" the interests of businesses using its platform.The CMA said Meta had originally planned to revise the relevant terms starting November 20, but has now paused their implementation. Under these terms, Meta may be able to collect content from publishers' websites without obtaining their consent. Meta could then use this content to develop and offer its own products and services, including AI features. In response to the investigation, Meta said: "There is no reason to launch a competition investigation. We have committed not to modify the relevant terms before consulting with publishers and other stakeholders."

According to QCP Capital's market observation report, the Federal Reserve maintained the policy rate at 3.75%–4.00% with a 10-2 vote at its October meeting. Fed Chair Walsh declined to commit to a path of rate cuts or hikes for December and beyond, reiterating his opposition to forward guidance. The Fed also announced that one meeting in 2027 and two meetings in 2028 will not feature interest rate votes, serving only as discussions on policy strategy. QCP observed that fewer decision points mean more economic data will accumulate between rate decisions, potentially increasing rate volatility and pushing up term premiums. The European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan also held rates steady, while markets still expect both central banks to potentially raise rates in December. The ECB stated that prior inflation data did not trigger second-round effects, while the BoJ announced that inflation has reached its 2% target. In the tech sector, shares of Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Intel declined following earnings releases, as markets expressed concerns over corporate profitability and future capital expenditures, growing increasingly cautious regarding the pace and returns of investments in AI infrastructure.

According to Bloomberg, asset management giant Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO) had heavily participated in debt financing for AI data centers in 2025.

According to QCP Capital market analysis reports, BTC fell below $80,000 over the weekend and is currently trading at the lower boundary of its recent range. Escalating tensions in the Middle East and ETF fund outflows later last week triggered leveraged long liquidations. QCP noted that the key variables this week are the FOMC meeting on Oct. 27-28 and earnings reports from major tech companies: Microsoft and Alphabet will report on Oct. 28, while Amazon will report on Oct. 29. Last week, Meta dropped 7% after raising its capital expenditure guidance, and the Nasdaq posted its worst single-day performance since June. The CME FedWatch Tool shows a 9% probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike in October and an approximately 84% probability in December. There will be no dot plot released with this meeting, and the market will focus on Fed Chair Walsh's press conference. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is approximately 4.96%. On the technical side, BTC support sits at $78,000, with resistance at $86,000 and further levels between $88,000 and $90,000. Glassnode data indicates that the cost basis for ETF holders and corporate treasuries ranges from $80,000 to $81,500. ETH support is at $2,150, with resistance at $2,500. The ETH/BTC ratio has fallen to approximately 0.029, and ETH ETFs recorded net outflows for the fourth consecutive week, totaling $220.7 million. Q

AI infrastructure startup Fireworks AI is in preliminary talks for a new funding round, targeting a valuation of $30 billion to $40 billion, a potential increase of up to 10x from its $4 billion Series C valuation in October 2025. The negotiations are still at an early stage, and the target valuation may change. The company declined to comment, and the report did not disclose the size of the round.Fireworks AI was founded in 2022 by engineers from Meta's open-source AI framework PyTorch team, and provides enterprises with services to customize and deploy open-source models based on their own data. In July 2026, the company announced the completion of a $1.505 billion Series D at a valuation of $17.5 billion, saying its annualized revenue had surpassed $1 billion and its daily token processing volume had grown from 15 trillion at the time of its previous funding round to more than 40 trillion. If the proposed valuation reaches $40 billion, it would be equivalent to roughly 40 times its previously disclosed annualized revenue. (Business Insider)

on October 22, Binance Square launched the second installment of its US stock earnings season content, focusing on the Q3 earnings reports of Tesla (TSLA) and Meta (META). Both companies will release their results after the US market close on October 21 (ET), with market attention centered on whether AI investments can translate into actual revenue, profit, and cash flow.For Tesla, despite Q3 deliveries reaching 486,532 vehicles, beating analyst consensus, automotive business profitability remains a key focus — particularly automotive gross margin excluding regulatory credit revenue. In addition, energy storage business performance, progress in Full Self-Driving (FSD), Robotaxi, and Optimus robot commercialization, as well as capital expenditures and free cash flow, will also influence market judgments on its growth outlook.For Meta, the market will focus on advertising business growth and AI investment returns. Investors should watch revenue, ad impressions, and average price changes to assess whether AI recommendation systems and advertising tools can improve monetization efficiency. Meanwhile, Meta expects capital expenditures to reach $130 billion to $145 billion in 2026. Whether these expenditures can drive corresponding profit and cash flow growth, along with full-year expenses and forward guidance, are all key points of this earnings report.It is understood that Binance Square will continue to follow both companies' earnings performance through earnings previews, post-earnings analysis, and live streams with analysts in both Chinese and English. Users can follow Binance Square's earnings-related topics and participate in discussions via #EarningsSeason to share their views on earnings performance and market trends.

Bernstein concludes that Muse provides the first consumer product by which Meta's AI investment can be tracked, but near-term valuations and expectations have already risen.
Odaily Report: Recently, Turing Award winner and Meta Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun poured cold water on Tesla's flying car concept directly on the X platform. He commented on the cold gas thruster system of the Tesla Roadster, saying it is essentially driven by compressed air and, while structurally simpler than a rocket engine, has a specific impulse of less than 50 seconds. Musk then showed up in the comments section and fired back: "I'm farting in your direction."

According to Yonhap, Mark Habib, Global Head of Digital Infrastructure at S&P Global, said on October 19 at a roundtable meeting in London that hyperscale data center operators (hyperscalers) may carry more AI-related debt than currently known, citing the "interlinked financial structures" formed by their massive data center construction and funding guarantees for small AI companies as one reason. S&P Global projects that the six major hyperscale operators—Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Oracle, Meta Platforms, and SpaceX—will invest over $7 trillion in capital expenditures for data centers and AI infrastructure between 2025 and 2030, with negative free cash flow expected to continue at least through next year. In July this year, S&P Global downgraded Oracle's credit rating by one notch to the lowest investment-grade tier of "BBB-", citing excessive AI spending and uncertain profit prospects. Habib stated that S&P credit ratings reflect a long-term outlook and that he currently does not view the divergence between the market and ratings as severe enough to require an immediate adjustment, but warned that this stance could shift if the scale of capital spending is definitively deemed unsustainable.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the KOSPI fell more than 14% last week, pulling back 37.8% from its peak over the past two years. The 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio (PER) has dropped to 4.6 times, approaching levels observed during previous stabilization phases following short-term sharp declines. Yuanta Securities suggests that the bottom for both sentiment and capital flows lies near the 5,500 mark. Hana Securities forecasts a "W-shaped" trajectory for the index, projecting a secondary bottom around 5,300 points, with the level corresponding to a 1.0x price-to-book ratio (PBR) estimated at approximately 5,150. Hyundai Securities noted that attention should be focused on support at July's intraday low of 5,262 this week; if breached, the next key level will be 5,000. Regarding capital flows, foreign investors have maintained a streak of net selling in KOSPI for six consecutive months since May. According to Kiwoom Securities, they net sold more than 11 trillion KRW last week, primarily concentrated in the semiconductor sector. Kiwoom Securities projects the KOSPI will trade within a 5,200–5,900 range this week, noting that the strength of any rebound will hinge on earnings reports from U.S. tech giants such as Meta and shifts in the credit risk profile of AI-related firms. Investors will turn their attention to Meta's earnings release on the 21st (local time) to assess whether its AI investments can successfully translate into revenue and profitability. Multiple brokerage houses believe that stabilization in U.S. semiconductor equities, easing credit risks for AI firms, and a reversal of foreign capital flows into net buying are the key variables determining whether the KOSPI has truly bottomed out.
