Meta Posts Record Revenue, But AI Costs Drag Stock Price Down Nearly 7%
2026.07.30 07:47:07
Meta Platforms (META.O) reported record-high revenue in its second fiscal quarter, but updates to its AI spending plans sparked investor concerns over its infrastructure construction costs. The company slightly raised the lower end of its annual capital expenditure guidance from $125 billion to $130 billion, while keeping the upper limit unchanged at $145 billion. Its second-quarter revenue reached $60.8 billion, growing 28% year-over-year, though net profit of $15.8 billion missed analyst expectations. As a result, Meta’s after-hours stock price dropped by more than 6.8%. To catch up in the AI race, Meta has invested tens of billions of dollars in chip procurement, data center construction, and recruitment of top talent. Most recently, it partnered with BlackRock to secure at least $12 billion in financing for building a data center in Texas. Meta’s second-quarter free cash flow came in at $784 million.
An analyst has commented that Anthropic's decision to add watermarks to content generated by its Claude AI is the company's most severe act of self-sabotage to date.
