Archived record for Q1 FY2026. The current period is Q2 FY2026.
Published
Meta Platforms reported $56.31 billion in revenue for Q1 FY2026, the quarter ended March 31, 2026, up 33.1% from a year earlier on higher ad impressions and higher average prices per ad. Net income of $26.77 billion was up 60.9%, but most of that increase came from a discrete income tax benefit that turned the quarter's tax line into a credit rather than an expense; operating income, the cleaner read on the business, was $22.87 billion, up 30.3%. Purchases of property and equipment rose to $19.00 billion, up 46.8%, as Meta pressed ahead with its data center and AI infrastructure build; the capital expenditure figure Meta guides to, which it raised again for this year, is a broader one that also includes principal payments on finance leases.

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 seven 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.
