Meta’s stock price heading into the week of May 18 reflects a post-earnings selloff after the company reported strong first-quarter results on April 29, including 33% revenue growth to $56.3 billion and a significant earnings beat. Traders are focused on the raised 2026 capital-expenditure guidance of $125–145 billion, driven by higher AI infrastructure costs, alongside a modest decline in family-of-apps daily active users. The recent drop of roughly 10% has left shares trading near $616, with sentiment shaped by ongoing investments in large language models such as the Llama 4 series and integration across Meta’s platforms. No major earnings or product launches are scheduled for the immediate week, leaving broader tech-sector moves and any regulatory updates on antitrust or data privacy as the key near-term variables.
