Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) might operate some of the most durably popular social media sites in the world, but this didn't translate into love for the stock on Friday. On news that a potentially hot product rollout will be delayed, investors traded out of Meta to leave its shares with a 0.6% price loss on the day. Towards the end of Thursday's trading session, The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta is delaying the launch of its flagship artificial intelligence (AI) model.
