Meta First Quarter Revenue Rises 33 Percent

Bloomberg Radio Menlo Park 17d8d Impact 8

Meta Platforms is expected to report earnings on Wednesday with guidance suggesting 30% revenue growth. Meta reported Q1 revenue of $56.31 billion, representing a 33% year-over-year increase. Net income for the period rose 61% to $26.77 billion. Shares dropped over 6% in after-hours trading following the report. Net profit reached $26.8 billion, significantly higher than the $16.6 billion recorded in the same period last year. This profit figure includes approximately $8 billion in one-time non-cash tax benefits. Excluding these tax benefits, earnings per share would have decreased by three cents. The company's use of its own AI systems was noted as a factor in managing corporate risk. Meta reported $56.3 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2026. Despite the revenue growth, daily user numbers declined for the first time as capital expenditure rose to $145 billion.
