NEW YORK: Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc forecast a weak holiday quarter and significantly more costs next year, sending shares down nearly 20% as investors voiced scepticism about the company’s pricey metaverse bets.

The forecast knocked about US$67bil (RM315bil) off Meta’s stock market value in extended trade, adding to the more than half a trillion dollars in value already lost this year.
