This market will resolve to “Yes” if Meta’s headcount for the first fiscal quarter of 2026, as reported in its official company earnings materials, is above the listed amount. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The specified metric will be considered as reported in the company’s official earnings materials. Subsequent revisions will not be considered. If the specified company’s official earnings materials for the specified quarter are released, and the specified metric is not included, this market will resolve to “No”. If the specified company does not release quarterly earnings materials for the specified quarter by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”. If the specified metric is reported as a range rather than a specific number, the midpoint of the range will be used for resolution of this market. The resolution source for this market is Meta’s official company earnings materials. including press releases, investor presentations, regulatory filings, and webcast transcripts/recordings. Note: if the specified company reports multiple variations of the specified metric for the relevant quarter, the first version of the metric found in the following hierarchy of earnings materials will be used. 1) Earnings Press Release 2) Earnings Investor Presentation 3) Regulatory Filings 4) Transcripts or recordings of Earnings webcast.Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects uncertainty around Meta Platforms' Q1 2026 headcount, with the critical threshold likely near 77,000 employees as of March 31, amid the company's aggressive AI pivot. End-2025 filings reported 78,865 full-time staff, followed by targeted cuts of about 1,500 from Reality Labs in January and several hundred more across teams on March 25—negligible relative to total headcount but signaling efficiency drives. Surging AI infrastructure capex, guided at $60-65 billion for 2026, prioritizes capital over personnel growth, per CFO comments on modest 1-2% expansion offset by restructuring. Q1 earnings on April 29 will disclose exact figures from the 10-Q, potentially swaying resolution ahead of rumored May 20 layoffs targeting 8,000 jobs.
