Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.
Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 29, 2026, 12:56 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Quoted token and share units can have different rights, multipliers and dividend treatment. This is not an executable premium or arbitrage signal.
Emily Dalton Smith, who was tapped to lead Meta’s “AI for Work” initiative in April 2026, has already left the company. Her departure, effective June 17, makes her tenure in the role roughly two months long.
Dalton Smith wasn’t a newcomer parachuting into unfamiliar territory. She joined Meta back in 2015, previously serving as head of product for Threads.
A pivot wrapped in a restructuring wrapped in layoffs
Meta has been in the middle of substantial company-wide restructuring, involving significant workforce reductions and organizational reshuffling. The company has been reallocating resources away from its once-celebrated metaverse ambitions and toward AI integration across both user-facing products and internal operations.
Dalton Smith’s portfolio included overseeing the development and consolidation of AI tools like Metamate, Meta’s internal enterprise AI assistant. Losing the person in charge of that effort, especially this early, creates a vacuum in a strategically critical area.

No successor has been named. No details about future leadership for the AI for Work initiative have surfaced.
Meta’s AI ambitions in context
The shift away from the metaverse, once the company’s defining bet, has been one of the more dramatic strategic reversals in recent tech history. AI is now the centerpiece, and initiatives like AI for Work were supposed to be proof points that Meta could apply the technology internally before selling it externally.
Enterprise AI is one of the most competitive spaces in tech right now. Companies from Microsoft to Google to a growing roster of startups are racing to embed AI assistants into workplace workflows. Microsoft has been embedding Copilot across its entire enterprise suite. Google is pushing Gemini into Workspace.
