Facebook owner Meta Platforms saw its shares down heavily in extended trade after revenue forecasts disappointed. Some analysts are also now questioning the staggering amounts of money Meta is investing in artificial intelligence. Written by: Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London Publication date: Thursday 25 April 2024 10:28 Earnings per share came in at $4.71, comfortably above estimates of $4.32 and revenues up 27% year-on-year, at $36.46bln, above the forecasts of $36.16bln. That was the fastest rate of revenue expansion for any quarter since 2021. However, shares have quite clearly been priced for perfection as the outlook, however strong it is, quite clearly disappointed the market. Q2 revenue is expected at $36.5 to $39bln with the midpoint at $37.75bln, which would represent 18% year-over-year growth, but below analysts' average estimates of $38.3bln. However, the company is also expected to invest between $30-37bln into AI, possibly as much as $40bln, which some said was too much given current engagement. (AI Video Summary) Meta Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, experienced a significant stock drop post-market following its quarterly earnings report, despite beating earnings expectations with a share price of $4.71 against a forecast of $4.32, and posting revenues of $36.46 billion. Meta's aggressive investment in AI technology This drop was attributed to concerns over its aggressive investment in AI technology, with spending on AI expected to be between $30 to $40 billion. Despite initial investor trepidation, there's notable buying interest in the stock at the lower prices, with 87% of clients holding long positions. The heavy investment in AI technology continues to spark debate among investors regarding the company’s future direction.

Question
Guest geldrausch
Hi,
you really have to do something regarding the margin requirements for guaranteed stops.
There is just no point in getting a margin call with a open position that has a guaranteed stop lets say at 1500 and although I am allowed to move the guaranteed stop up to 1600 that adjustment does not free any money regarding to the margin requirement at all.
I completely understand that you try to adjust the leverage that a customer is taking but if I have lets say 3 positions where all 3 guaranteed stops are at the opening level, my risk is zero.
Therefore I should be able to withdraw my initial deposit completely or use it to enter new positions.
Locking some of that money for a margin that at a risk of zero is not existant is not right.
What is worse in these situations that you never know, how much risk you are really taking as the margin is always higher than the real guaranteed (!!) risk.
If you want to lower the leverage then increase the stop distance from 10% to lets say 25% or 50% but a guaranteed stop should never block more money than the guaranteed risk is stating.
Best regards
