Key points

Analysts say the company will report revenue of $63.31 billion, a 24% year‑over‑year increase, and earnings per share of $5.60, compared with $1.05 last year. Deutsche Bank analysts note that Meta’s Muse AI agent and other recent AI launches signal the start of a “rich product cycle,” which could improve investor sentiment about the company’s AI monetization.
The potential price swing reflects broader concerns about Meta’s AI spending, but also optimism that the firm’s AI efforts may drive future growth. Investors will be watching the earnings release to gauge whether the company can sustain its revenue momentum and translate AI investments into higher profits.
