Published
Meta Platforms reported $60.80 billion in revenue for Q2 FY2026, the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 28.0% from a year earlier, but earnings moved the other way: operating income of $18.77 billion was down 8.2% and net income of $15.85 billion was down 13.6%, as charges for legal proceedings and severance tied to a May 2026 headcount reduction more than accounted for the decline, with costs and expenses growing faster than sales. Purchases of property and equipment reached $30.12 billion, up 82.1%, as Meta built out AI and data center capacity, and free cash flow fell to $784.00 million from $8.55 billion a year earlier. Diluted EPS was $6.18, against $7.14 a year earlier.

How this page was built
This page was built from Meta Platforms, Inc.'s own filings with the SEC, read one at a time, and nothing on it is taken from a pre-tagged dataset, a data vendor or another website. The figures are on the company's own fiscal calendar and in actual dollars, as the filings report them. Where the filings do not support a figure, the record says so instead of reporting a zero; this period names nine such gaps.
A single company files thousands of pages with the SEC in a year, and no two companies file them the same way, so the reading and the assembly here are done by AI rather than by rules that break on the differences. Every pass is then audited back against the filings it came from before the page is published, and anything the filings do not support is left out and named rather than filled in. AI can still make mistakes. That is why the accession numbers are printed: the filing is the authority, and this page is a route to it.
