How Are They Going To Monetize AI | Tom Essaye Interviewed on Yahoo Finance
How is Meta going to monetize this? Tom Essaye Discusses Meta Post-Settlement
Is Meta a buy after its $16.68 billion social media case settlement?
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks with Yahoo Finance Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre, Sevens Report Research Founder Tom Essaye, and Edward Jones Senior Global Investment Strategist Angelo Kourkafas about the company’s future and how it will approach monetizing AI.
I don’t think that this overhang is really the problem with Meta. I think the bigger problem is how are they going to monetize AI? To Angelo’s point earlier, we are shifting to a monetization phase. If you look at some of the other Mag 7 names, if you look at Google is sort of one of the closest competitors. Well, it’s obvious how they’re going to monetize it, right? They have Gemini, they have their chip business, they have their cloud storage business. How is Meta going to monetize this? Is it through better search revenue or better ad revenue through Insta? Is it through Facebook? Is it through leasing?
