For anyone curious, the dividend is ~~0.0063$~~ 0.50 per single share (the other number was last year)

Compared to Microsoft, which is 75c per share, and stock is cheaper.

87b vs 123b operating revenue. And that's with a metric ton of money pumped directly into vr. FB can be run by cutting that labor in half. MS, not so much.

$0.50/share/quarter according to this article. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/01/meta-is-paying-first-ever-dividend-authorizes-50-billion-buyback.html

If my math is right, At Meta’s current stock price of $472 that makes an annual yield of 0.004%. It’s great news for old investors, but that will be a hard pass from me.
