The subscription includes tools for connecting with others, viewing previews and insights, and customizing the Instagram experience, and is rolling out globally starting June 4. Meta’s AI development efforts were also in focus after The Financial Times’ Hannah Murphy reported on June 3, 2026, that Mark Zuckerberg had bet on Alexandr Wang, a start-up founder rather than a veteran researcher, to help revive the company’s AI work. The report said Wang has begun to deliver results, including developing Muse Spark, reshaping Meta’s AI operation, and becoming an influential executive inside the company. d8nn / Shutterstock.com On June 2, 2026, Arete analyst Rocco Strauss upgraded Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $735, up from $614. Strauss cited Meta’s “flexible” cost base, subscription growth, and internal AI progress for the upgrade. Arete said Meta’s high-margin subscription business could help margins recover despite “aggressive” AI data center spending, and said the company could become a “neocloud with excess compute.” Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) develops products that help people connect and share across mobile devices, personal computers, virtual reality headsets, and AI glasses through its Family of Apps and Reality Labs segments.
