Market view · as of Sep 28, 2026
Price (last ~year)
Meta shares closed at $751.66, up 31.7% over the past month and 22.7% over three months, though the stock fell 3.3% on the day after reporting Q2 EPS of $6.18 versus a $7.10 estimate, a 12.96% miss that broke a streak of three prior beats. Revenue grew 28.0% year over year to $60.80B in the quarter, but earnings declined 13.4%, and free cash flow compressed to $1.75B as capex of $30.12B consumed nearly all of the quarter's $31.86B in operating cash flow. Margins remain strong (81.7% gross, 34.8% operating) with leverage modest at 1.0x debt/EBITDA, though the stock's RSI of 77 and 13.8% premium to its 20-day SMA point to an extended run near its 52-week high. The analyst target stands at $790.27 against a $1.91T market cap and 28.33 P/E.
