Meta Platforms' stock has faced downward pressure following its Q1 2026 earnings on April 29, where revenue surged 33% to $56.31 billion—beating estimates—driven by robust advertising across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, yet shares plunged over 9% on sharply raised 2026 capital expenditures of $125-145 billion for AI infrastructure. This reflects trader concerns over escalating costs to compete in artificial intelligence, highlighted by the recent Muse Spark model launch replacing Llama chatbots on Meta's platforms amid competitive positioning against OpenAI and Google. Regulatory headwinds, including EU Digital Services Act probes for child safety failures, add uncertainty. With no major catalysts next week before planned May 20 layoffs, watch key support at $600-620 for rebound potential amid broader tech sentiment.

If the final session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
The resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance, specifically the Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) "Close" prices available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/META/history, published under "Historical Prices."
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Yahoo Finance.
