Meta's $7.94B Volume Surges to 9th in Market Activity as Shares Dip 1.54%

On September 25, 2025, Meta (META) closed with a 1.54% decline, trading at a volume of $7.94 billion, ranking ninth in market activity for the day. The stock’s performance followed a mixed session across tech sectors, with investors reassessing exposure amid broader market volatility.
