Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), formerly known as Facebook, is a major player in the metaverse landscape. The company bought Oculus, a virtual reality (VR) hardware firm in 2024. Thus, its dedication to virtual reality is apparent through this action, however, Meta Platforms feature more than just games.

There are multiple non-gaming options available for users to delve into this new realm. The CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has pledged billions of dollars annually for the next decade towards the virtual market, highlighting his dedication to the metaverse.

Another reason for investors to be bullish on Meta is that it is undergoing a strong rally that started in November last year. Crucially, the stock is up 133.15% year to date, and from a momentum angle, it still has more room for growth. Tapping into the metaverse could unlock serious amounts of value for the company through its Oculus headset which could boost its valuation ratios further. Sales of the device clocked in at $1.1 billion at the end of last year. This makes Meta Platforms one of those key metaverse retirement stocks for investors to keep their eye on.

The company stock has developed NVIDIA Omniverse, allowing organizations to simulate virtual production as part of their efforts towards the metaverse.

They’re doing this by introducing new systems and services. These include the next-generation Nvidia RTX workstations.

Next, global automotive companies are planning to use Omniverse Cloud. They’ll use it to digitize their entire industrial lifecycles.
