Meta Platforms reported strong revenue growth of 28% year-over-year, driven by an increase in advertising impressions and higher ad prices. However, expenses grew significantly faster at 55%, leading to a stock price drop. The company expects expenses to decrease in upcoming quarters due to headcount reductions and one-time costs, aiming for expense growth to align with revenue growth by Q4 2026. The Reality Labs segment showed disappointing growth.
