Meta Platforms Stock Faces Pivotal Earnings Report Amid AI Transition
Meta Platforms (META -0.90%) prepares to release its quarterly earnings on Oct. 29, a report poised to draw intense scrutiny from investors. The social media giant's aggressive pivot toward artificial intelligence (AI) has heightened market interest, with historical volatility around earnings—ranging from a 20% surge post-February 2024 results to a 25% plunge after October 2022's disclosure.
Nearly 3.5 billion daily users across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp underscore Meta's entrenched reach, though growth shows signs of plateauing. Advertising revenue rose 19% year-over-year in early 2025, but sustainability remains in question. The company's AI ambitions now dominate its narrative, with capital expenditures fueling both Optimism and skepticism.
