Meta shares closed at $762.50, up 2.6% on the day and 13.8% over the past month, though the most recent quarter (June 2026) missed estimates with EPS of $6.18 versus $7.10 expected, a 12.96% shortfall. Free cash flow has compressed sharply, with capex of $30.12B nearly matching operating cash flow of $31.86B in the quarter, leaving just $1.75B in FCF despite a 28.0% YoY revenue increase to $60.80B. Margins remain strong at 81.7% gross and 34.8% operating, but earnings fell 13.4% YoY, and leverage is modest at 1.0x debt/EBITDA. Truist raised its price target to $1,000 from $763, citing the company's new Muse Wonder AI model.
