  • Meta shares face uncertain earnings outlook with volatile options trading
    April 28, 2026, 1:02 PM EDT. Meta Platforms is set to report earnings Wednesday, with analysts noting strong fundamentals including 30% year-on-year revenue growth driven by improved ad pricing and targeting. However, technical indicators raise caution as the stock hovers near its 150-day moving average, suggesting a fragile technical position. The options market is pricing in a sizable 7.5% move post-earnings, reflecting recent large price swings. Recent activity shows heavy call option buying, but traders are advised to consider call spread risk reversals to balance risk and reward. Historical data reveals buying Meta stock into earnings carries a modest average return but with high volatility, making defined-risk options strategies appealing to limit downside while maintaining upside potential.
