Meta plunges after revenue guidance miss, Microsoft rallies on AI gains

Microsoft shares jumped 14% after strength in Azure and Copilot, while Meta dropped 9% following a free cash flow plunge and a revenue guidance miss.

CNBC reports that Meta shares sank about 9% as the company missed revenue guidance forecasts, extending a record losing streak.

The outlet added that Meta’s free cash flow also plunged, contributing to the selloff as investors reassessed the company’s outlook.

In contrast, Microsoft shares rose roughly 14%, supported by growth tied to Azure and Copilot, reinforcing investor demand for its AI-related products.

The contrasting moves underscored how investors are splitting their AI trade exposure between the two companies after their latest results and outlook updates, according to CNBC.
