Last year in november, this was worth $90, now its $430 (was $490 before ER) wth happened? what do people believe that Meta is doing that made it jump 5x and now seems to say its only wroth 4x where it was at its yearly lows?

If you look one November before that (Nov 2021), it was at $340. What did people believe that caused Meta to fall 74% to $90?

There was a general market correction which hit the whole market. Then the market recovered. Meta was hit particularly hard in the correction because.... reasons? Market eventually thought the Metaverse investments were a total waste of time and that Meta product usage would fall (in favor of TikTok).

Meta also had deep layoffs, which caused their profits to soar.

Irrational exuberance, previously for the Metaverse, now for AI. Neither area is going to make them money and both are incredibly expensive, as investors have started to realise today.
