Forget Meta Platforms And Buy Disney For The Metaverse
Summary
Meta Platforms releases Q3 earnings.

Meta's early metaverse plans were panned by critics.

Disney can leverage its parks with AR technology.


Julio Aguilar/Getty Images Entertainment

I warned investors of my marketplace subscriber service that Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) was heading for further losses at $163. The stock has now shown signs of bottoming at the $123 level that I projected. Any upside in Meta will be slow due to a stagnating Facebook platform and huge investment in a metaverse flop. In this article, I will discuss why Disney (NYSE:DIS) is the better metaverse play.

The metaverse is set to be the future of commerce
In December of 2021, Bloomberg analysis said that metaverse revenues could reach $800 billion by 2024. This was a big increase from an earlier prediction of $500 billion and the cryptocurrency bear market may have pushed that further out.

In another report from analysts at McKinsey, which was written in June 2022, they thought the stakes were higher:

"We estimate it may have a market impact of between $2 trillion and $2.6 trillion on e-commerce by 2030, depending on whether a base or upside case is realized."

Many big-name brands and corporations are entering the metaverse with Walmart (WMT) being a recent adopter. Walmart launched two experiences on the online gaming platform Roblox (RBLX).

The retail giant has an experience that will feature a blimp dropping toys, a music festival, games, and a store of virtual merchandise, or "verch".

Walmart is looking to the future of commerce and how it can combine its physical stores with an online presence.

You nailed it bud. I had a big plan last year to rewatch all the MCU movies in order just cause and by the 3rd Thor it's just like blech, they're all just green screened cheesy rear end drawn out fight scenes where you know the good guy is gonna power up at the end and win

I could for real care less about the next phase or whatever of comic book movies now lol

Still laughing at the fact that Gina Carano was || that close to having a Disney branded dumptruck pulling up to her door and just unload enough fat stacks of cash that would make Scrooge McDuck jealous, but she couldn't shut the gently caress up about being a fasc piece of poo poo

Probably bad idea to make like 3 franchise movies a year for the past few years. It was like when everyone was making Western movies in the 50s.

It’s already happening. Bring up transgender. Chuds get mad. New details come out that contradict the initial narrative. Story has already moved on to another shooting at a preschool.
