Meta Platforms reports Q2 results on Wednesday after market close. Expectations are high: due to Bloomberg analysts forecast USD 44.8 billion in revenue (up 14.7% YoY) and USD 5.88 earnings per share. Meta has consistently beaten estimates \u2014 11 straight quarters on revenue, 9 on earnings.<\/p> \n\n

Advertising remains Meta\u2019s core strength, contributing nearly all of its revenue. Analysts expect AI-driven ad tools to support continued growth. Platforms like Threads (now at 350 million users) offer new monetization potential.<\/p>\n\n

However, the spotlight is on AI spending. Meta recently raised its 2025 capex forecast to $68 billion, and further increases are possible. CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks of \u201chundreds of billions\u201d in AI investment over time. Initiatives like the Meta Superintelligence Lab and a USD 14.3B investment in Scale AI show how serious Meta is.<\/p>\n\n

The key question: Can strong ad growth offset rising AI costs? Investors will be watching for signs of early AI monetization and updated expense guidance.<\/p>\n\n

Meta stock is up 40% since April lows and trades at USD 700, just below its all-time high. With high expectations priced in, any earnings surprise could trigger sharp moves\u2014especially relevant for short-term traders using Mini Futures.<\/p>\n\n
