Meta stock falls as OpenAI ’o’ agent threatens historic rally
Meta Platforms shares fell 4.2% to $720.36 on Monday as OpenAI prepares to reveal a competing always-on AI assistant. The decline follows a strong September where the stock surged roughly 30%. Investors are weighing the threat of OpenAI's rumored "o" agent against Meta's own Muse agent, questioning if Muse can generate the revenue required to sustain its recent valuation growth. Other reports indicate a broader two-day drop of 8% following the monthly rally.
