The announcement of new tariffs by President Trump raised concerns across various tech companies, particularly those reliant on hardware like Apple and Dell. However, Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, experienced a significant decline in stock value too. Despite its core business focusing on digital advertising, the outcomes of trade policies can still indirectly affect Meta's revenue. Large advertisers that Meta relies on for revenue, such as Procter & Gamble and McDonald's, may reconsider their ad spending amid rising costs due to tariffs, thereby impacting Meta's financial health.
Meta’s stock declined after Trump's tariff announcement, demonstrating that even companies primarily focused on digital services like Meta can be affected by global trade policies.
While Apple and Dell are directly hit by tariffs due to hardware reliance, Meta’s advertising business is also vulnerable as it relies on large brands affected by these tariffs.
The decline in Meta’s shares, which saw a 9 percent drop in market capitalization, signals investor concerns over the potential impact of tariffs on advertising revenue.
As advertisers like Procter & Gamble and McDonald's plan their spending, they might reconsider budgets if economic conditions worsen due to tariffs, impacting platforms like Meta.
