Meta Shares Surge on Early Strength of Muse AI Agent
Meta Platforms stock trades near $743 following a 25% to 27% surge in September, driven by strong early demand for its Muse personal artificial intelligence agent. Launched on September 8, 2026, Muse reached 2.8 million downloads in its first two weeks and surpassed ChatGPT and Gemini in certain metrics.

Meta Shares Jump as Muse AI Agent Drives Best Month Since 2022
Meta Platforms shares surged between 27% and more than 30% over the past month, marking the social media giant's strongest monthly performance since 2022. The stock rally is fueled by intense investor interest in the recently launched Muse personal artificial intelligence agent. While the release of the Muse app has made investors bullish and driven the company toward its best quarter in over two years, analysts warn that turning the new technology into revenue might prove difficult. Needham analyst Laura Martin points out that the Muse agent is currently free and walled off from the company core advertising business.
Why it matters
