Meta Platforms' trader sentiment on Q1 2026 headcount hinges on late-March layoffs affecting several hundred employees across Reality Labs and other units, trimming from the December 31, 2025, full-time workforce of 78,865 amid aggressive cost controls. With full-year 2026 total expenses guided at $162-169 billion—including elevated AI-driven capital expenditures for data centers—management emphasizes productivity gains from artificial intelligence to offset labor costs while targeting revenue growth above 20%. The April 29 earnings release will confirm March 31 headcount, a key proxy for operating leverage; prediction market consensus, backed by real capital, prices in modest contraction versus year-end levels, consistent with Big Tech base rates post-efficiency drives.
