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 28, 2026, 4:51 PM 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.

Mark Zuckerberg wants to rent out Meta’s AI brain. The Meta CEO confirmed during a July 9 interview with Bloomberg that the company is actively exploring an AI cloud business, calling it a logical next step given the sheer scale of infrastructure the company has already built.
Meta is on track to spend up to $145 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026 alone.
From social network to cloud contender
Zuckerberg first floated the idea publicly at a May 27 shareholder meeting, saying the prospect of entering the cloud computing sector was “definitely on the table.” He noted that external companies inquire “almost every week” about purchasing compute or API access from Meta.
On July 1, Bloomberg reported that Meta was already building a new business unit specifically designed to monetize its excess AI computing capacity and AI models, including something called Muse Spark, for outside customers. The company is reportedly considering aggressive pricing models.
Wall Street liked what it heard. Meta shares jumped nearly 9% following the July 1 report on the cloud business plans.

If Meta pulls the trigger, it would be stepping into a ring with three entrenched heavyweights: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
Total Big Tech AI infrastructure investments are projected to exceed $700 billion in 2026. Microsoft has OpenAI as its AI ace. Google has Gemini and its own TPU chips. AWS has the largest market share and the deepest enterprise penetration.
What this means for investors and the broader market
For Meta shareholders, the near-term signal is positive. The 9% stock jump after the initial report suggests the market views cloud revenue as a meaningful catalyst. But execution risk is real. Building an enterprise cloud business requires more than spare servers. It requires sales teams, SLAs, security certifications, and the kind of customer support infrastructure that Meta has never needed for its consumer products.
