Meta's Q1 2026 results delivered a strong 33% revenue beat to $56.3 billion, fueled by AI-enhanced ad targeting and user engagement across its platforms, yet the stock fell sharply after the company lifted its full-year capex guidance to $125–145 billion to accelerate AI infrastructure and model development like the new Muse Spark LLM. Traders are now watching whether this short-term volatility settles into a modest rebound by the May 18 close, as the market digests elevated spending on AI data centers amid stable gross margins near 82% and ongoing regulatory pressure over youth safety. With no major catalysts until late May, near-term price action will hinge on broader tech sentiment and any follow-through from Meta's efficiency measures, including planned workforce reductions.

If the final session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Yahoo Finance. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Yahoo Finance after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance, specifically the Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) "Close" prices available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/META/history, published under "Historical Prices."
