Meta's AI Bet: Revenue Surges, Shares Plummet

from The Daily News Now! Business

Meta Platforms reported a 33% year-over-year revenue increase to $56 billion in Q1 2026, with ad impressions up 19% and prices per ad rising 12%. Despite accelerating growth and increased daily active users, shares plummeted due to soaring AI costs and a revised capital spending outlook of $125-145 billion. The company is investing heavily in custom silicon and AI, aiming for future dominance but risking heavier depreciation if returns dont materialize.
