"Shares of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) lost 5.72% over the past five trading sessions after losing 3.76% the five prior. The fallout from concerns over its AI CapEx announced during the company's FY 2025 Q3 earnings report caused the stock to correct more than 21%, but since bottoming on Nov. 19, 2025, shares of META are up 2.34%. Over the past year, the Magnificent Seven member's shares have lost 2.00%."
"When the company reported Q3 earnings on Oct. 29, 2025, it announced quarterly revenue of $51.24 billion, beating analysts' expectations of $49.41 billion by 26.2%. Adjusted EPS came in at $7.25, beating expectations of $6.69 by 20.2%. But GAAP ESP of $1.05 fell 82.6% short of expectations of $6.70. Still, the company's third-quarter sales rose 26% year-over-year, which is its highest revenue growth since FY 2024 Q1."
"This year, META announced - alongside authorizing a $50 billion stock buyback - that shares of META would begin paying a dividend. And while its current yield of 0.33% may not seem like much, at its current price, that equates to 52 cents per share quarterly, or $2.08 per share annualized. As the dominant player in the social media landscape, Meta Platforms is now branching out more broadly into tech, and specifically, the artificial intelligence (AI) space."
Meta Platforms experienced recent share declines driven by investor concern over AI capital expenditures, triggering a correction exceeding 21% before a modest rebound. The company reported Q3 revenue of $51.24 billion and adjusted EPS of $7.25, both beating expectations, while GAAP EPS of $1.05 fell well short. Third-quarter sales grew 26% year-over-year, the strongest since FY 2024 Q1. Meta authorized a $50 billion buyback and initiated a dividend yielding 0.33% (about $2.08 annualized). Market moves were also affected by geopolitical rhetoric and broader market sell-offs.
