Meta shares jumped 10% in post-market trading on Wednesday after the company reported stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and outlined plans to sharply increase spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Meta reported fourth quarter revenue of $59.89 billion up 24% year over year and net income of $22.77 billion up 9%. Earnings came in at $8.88 per diluted share for the quarter. Both revenue and profit marked quarterly records for the company.
Meta said it plans to increase capital expenditures in 2026 to between $115 billion and $135 billion, compared with $72.2 billion in 2025. Chief Financial Officer Susan Li said the increase would be driven by investments supporting Meta Superintelligence Labs and the company’s core advertising business.
Despite the jump in spending, Meta expects operating income in 2026 to exceed 2025 levels. The company forecast first-quarter 2026 revenue of $53.5 billion to $56.5 billion, with infrastructure costs and technical hiring as the main drivers of expense growth.

Gloria daily close for session Oct 29, 2026. Market cap and trailing P/E use this close with the SEC share total and trailing diluted earnings, each dated next to its figure. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin show their own fiscal period and link the 10-K. Current context may postdate this article.

Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.
Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 30, 2026, 9:02 AM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.
