    Meta rallies on 'Meta Compute' cloud division rumors

    Question

    Meta rallies on 'Meta Compute' cloud division rumors

    Direct answer

    Meta's move into cloud computing addresses the primary bear case: that AI spending is a 'sunk cost' with no direct ROI. By selling excess compute, Meta enters direct competition with AWS and Google Cloud. The valuation gap between Meta and its peers suggests that even a modest success in this division could lead to further multiple expansion.
