Price (last ~year)
Meta's June quarter showed the strain of its AI buildout: capex of $30.12B against $31.86B in operating cash flow left just $1.75B in free cash flow, even as revenue grew 28% YoY to $60.80B. Earnings fell 13.4% YoY, and the quarter's EPS of $6.18 missed estimates by 13.0% after three consecutive beats. The stock sits at $718.67, up 11.0% over the past month but below the $799 analyst target, with a class action alleging misleading AI glasses promotions adding a modest legal overhang. Leverage remains light at 1.0x debt/EBITDA with a 2.23 current ratio.
