Meta Biggest Drop Ever: Capex Concerns Back, Enters Buy Zone Again?

Meta plunged 8% in its worst session since October 2023. First, a landmark ruling from a California jury on Wednesday found Meta and YouTube liable for "negligent platform design" leading to social media addiction in minors. Simultaneously, Meta confirmed it is expanding its El Paso, Texas data center project from a $1.5 billion initial plan to a staggering $10 billion megaproject. Aiming for 1 Gigawatt (1GW) of power capacity by 2028. Can Meta maintain its 30%+ operating margins if "Addiction Taxes" (legal settlements) become a recurring cost? Is it entering buy zone again?

Google’s New Tech Hits Micron & Semis—Sell or Buy?

On March 25, $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ unveiled a new AI memory compression algorithm, TurboQuant, claiming it can reduce memory requirements during large language model inference by sixfold while increasing computational speed by eightfold, all without sacrificing accuracy. Specifically, as AI models grow more powerful, context windows continue to expand, and key-value (KV) cache storage grows geometrically, becoming a core bottleneck for both performance and cost. TurboQuant leverages PolarQuant and error correction (QJL) to maintain full model accuracy and a 100% retrieval recall rate. The technology can be directly deployed on existing AI systems, raising market concerns that demand for memory chips could be weakened. As a result, shares of

Did this trader just make the play of a lifetime? At ~2:45PM yesterday, someone bought 500 $META 550-strike puts for $7,500 total. These contracts were worth 0.15 ($15) each at the time, with only 2 days until expiration. With a steep 8% drop in $META today, these contracts are now worth a staggering 7.70 ($770) each, or a total value of $385,000. That's a 50x return overnight.

While browsing through the list of ‘suggested’ posts, a title caught my eye (see below), and I thought I might learn something new while reading. After reading, I feel that it’s worth the while to share what I have read, with a twist though. Here goes something or nothing, depends on how one interprets the post. Intro. On 14 Jan 2026, Macro Risk Advisors’ John Kolovos appeared on CNBC’s ‘Closing Bell’ to talk about the base case for equity markets. His base case for the S&P 500 in 2026, is around the 7600 or so level. According to him, this year is more about getting the rotations and the risk management right. He also expressed worry associated with (a) mid-term elections, and (b) volatility they tend to bring with them. At the same time, he half expected some kind of downside chop we

Long Straddle For Possible Rally to $750 If Meta 2026 Capex Forecast "Less Bad" Than Feared

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ is scheduled to report its fiscal Q4 2025 earnings after the market closes on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

After the Q3 report in late 2025, the stock faced pressure due to ballooning capital expenditure (capex) forecasts, making the 2026 guidance the most critical part of this upcoming release. The Numbers to Watch Revenue: Consensus sits at $58.4 billion, reflecting ~21% YoY growth. Earnings Per Share (EPS): Analysts expect $8.15–$8.21. Advertising: Forecasted at $56.85 billion.
