Meta Platforms says its third-quarter profit jumped more than threefold, as revenue climbed sharply. The Facebook and Instagram parent company on Wednesday reported net income of $9.86 billion, or $3.83 per share, for the July-September period. Excluding a charge from a historic legal settlement, profit was $7.40 per share. Revenue grew 26% to $64.60 billion and beat Wall Street's estimates. CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted during a call with analysts that more than 10 million people in the U.S. and Canada have set up accounts for Muse, the personal artificial intelligence agent the company launched in August.
