Looks like the “special situation” that Meta dealt with when Frances Haugen raged her wrath over them, has had no effect on the company’s growth in terms of numbers; at least not so in India.

Aided by some of the lowest internet tariffs in the world, Meta saw a massive uptick in business as revenues from India soared 41% to close fiscal 2020-21 at ₹9,326 crores against ₹6,613 crores in the previous year. However, the profits didn’t touch the mark from last year as the number stood at ₹128 crores, compared to ₹136 crores last year.

The story of Indian equities last week was much like a consolation prize that participants get for not winning. Even though the benchmark indices gained over 1%, a bearish sort of sentiment has prevailed in the markets. Index gains could mainly be explained by better-than-expected economic data – namely GDP growth and industrial output data which came in at 8.4% and 7.5% respectively.

Having said that, there were more reasons to be bearish than not. The new Covid-19 variant fueled fears across the world as there seems to be little clarity on its fatality and whether vaccines work on it or not. Moreover, widespread selling by foreign institutions, profit booking, and the IPO frenzy fizzling out as upcoming IPOs, like Star Health, getting disappointing responses has led to a sense in the markets that the bears are taking over the bulls.

Not only were Netizens reacting to this news, but investors were too! The stock price of Twitter was trading up 4.82% at $49.34 apiece at 9:45 pm (IST) on November 29th!
