Meta Stock Alert: AI Spending Spree, Q3 Results Bombshell & $30B Bond Sale (Monday Market Preview)

Meta’s October earnings painted a mixed picture. The company delivered strong revenue growth – $51.24 B for Q3, up 26% year-on-yearts2.tech – led by robust advertising demand and rising user engagement. Ad impressions rose ~14% and prices ~10%, fueling the gain. However, profitability collapsed: reported net income was only $2.71 B, versus $15.7 B a year earlierts2.tech. This huge drop was almost entirely due to a one-time $15.93 billion tax charge from the U.S. corporate minimum-tax lawts2.tech. Management noted this tax is non-cash – without it, Q3 earnings would have been ~$18.6 Bts2.techbusinessinsider.com.
