Meta Platforms Capital Expenditure Plans for 2026
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) plans to increase capital expenditures to an estimated $125 billion to $145 billion in 2026, nearly double the $72 billion spent in 2025. This investment is primarily aimed at enhancing AI infrastructure to improve the company’s advertising capabilities, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
In Q1 2025, Meta reported a 33% increase in revenue year-over-year, driven by a 19% rise in ad impressions and a 12% increase in the average price per ad, totaling $55 billion in ad sales—representing 98% of its total revenue. However, the company’s stock has experienced a downturn, declining 15% in 2026 so far, raising concerns among investors about the future return on this significant investment.
