Meta Platforms Key Highlights
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) reported a 26% year-over-year revenue increase in Q3 2025, reaching $51.24 billion, driven by enhanced user engagement and increased ad impressions. The company has over 3.5 billion daily active users across its family of apps, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Despite strong revenue growth, Meta incurred a significant $15.93 billion one-time tax charge, impacting earnings per share (EPS), which was posted at $1.05. Daily active users grew by 8%, and the average price per ad increased by 10% due to AI-driven improvements. Meta’s capital expenditures for 2026 are projected to be “notably larger” than the expected $70 billion to $72 billion in 2025, with estimates possibly exceeding $100 billion.
Meta’s Reality Labs division reported an operating loss of $4.4 billion, contributing to financial pressures despite the core advertising business remaining profitable. The company is focusing on AI advancements and has formed a new division, Meta Superintelligence Labs, for streamlined AI development.
