Meta's share rise after the multistate settlement suggests investors are pricing clarity, not celebrating the expense. Court filings indicate payments of up to $16.68B, while Meta values the deal near $18B; the distinction matters because payments extend across years and some remain conditional. The expected $10B Q3 legal charge is therefore not equivalent to an immediate cash outflow. My read: reducing a difficult-to-model tail risk can support valuation even alongside a large charge. But with thousands of cases still outstanding and youth limits potentially weighing on engagement and advertising, the repricing looks conditional rather than conclusive. Not advice, just analysis. #MetaSettlementRepricing
