🚨 META Q1: Big Beat, Still Cheap?
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ just crushed earnings — and the market noticed.
✅ Revenue: $36.46B (+16% YoY) — beat
✅ EPS: $4.71 — beat by 24%
✅ Daily Active People: 3.43B (+6%)
✅ Ad pricing: +10% YoY
✅ Operating margin: 41% (was 33%)
Despite a bump in CapEx (now $68B for 2024), Meta still bought back $13.4B in stock last quarter. Even with heavy AI investment, it’s delivering strong margins, user growth, and cash flow.
📈 Valuation? Still ~23x forward earnings — not bad for a company scaling this fast with real profits.
📊 Guidance for Q2 also came in above expectations. Meta’s AI push is real, but it’s the core ad business that’s funding it — and that engine is humming.
🔥 Still bullish on META? Or is CapEx too much too soon?
