, the company formerly known as Facebook, will announce its first-ever quarterly revenue drop when it reports earnings after the bell Wednesday.

The transition could take a while, and the options market is betting that this earnings report in particular will reflect Meta's bumpy ride so far, in a year where the stock has been cut in half.
