Meta’s Q2 earnings per share fell short of estimates while revenue exceeded expectations, driven by strong ad demand and AI investments.
Meta reported second-quarter earnings per share of $6.18, below the $7.22 estimate, while revenue reached $60.80 billion, surpassing the $60.17 billion forecast. The results reflect mixed performance amid ongoing AI and monetization efforts.
Analysts had anticipated stronger earnings, though revenue growth outpaced expectations. The company’s AI initiatives, including the recent Muse Spark 1.1 model, remain a focal point for investors seeking clearer monetization strategies.
Shares may face pressure due to the EPS miss, though revenue strength could mitigate some downside. Mark Zuckerberg’s commentary on AI and capital expenditures will be closely watched.
