AI-generated source summary
Meta Platforms Inc. (META) reported strong Q3 2026 financial results, with revenue up 26% year-over-year to $64.601 billion, driven by a 14% increase in average price per ad and a 10% increase in ad impressions. Despite a 68% rise in costs and expenses, partly due to a $9.89 billion charge related to legal proceedings, operating income showed a (37)% decrease to $12.99 billion. Net income increased significantly by 264% to $9.860 billion, with EPS at $3.83. The company's AI investments are delivering substantial incremental advertising revenue through stronger engagement, better recommendations, and more efficient monetization, contributing to a strong financial outlook. Key operational highlights include a 3% increase in Daily Active People (DAP), a 14% increase in average price per ad, and a 26% increase in revenue year-over-year. Capital expenditures were $34.91 billion, and the company returned $1.36 billion in dividends. Despite a negative free cash flow of $2.12 billion, Meta's AI investments are expected to drive strong revenue growth throughout 2027.
