Price (last ~year)
Meta shares fell 3.7% to $709.33, with the broader tape in a risk-off rotation out of AI names. The most recent quarter (June 30, 2026) showed revenue of $60.80B, up 28% YoY on a TTM basis, but EPS of $6.18 missed the $7.10 estimate by 13% — the first miss in four quarters — and earnings are down 13.4% YoY. 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, though leverage remains modest at 1.0x debt/EBITDA. The stock trades at 27.76x earnings with an analyst target of $813.65, sitting 8.8% below its 52-week high.
