Meta Reports on Oct. 21. I'd Consider Buying the Stock Before It Does.
Meta Platforms (META) will report Q3 earnings on Oct. 21. Analysts expect $6.77 EPS, up from $1.05 a year ago, but last year's figure was distorted by a one-time charge. Ad revenue grew 27% YoY in Q2, and the company expects Q3 revenue of $61B-$64B. Meta's capital expenditures are rising, with $130B-$145B expected for 2026, impacting free cash flow.
