@mster:
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ META is facing a tough reality check despite a solid earnings beat and an initial 10% gap up. The stock has now drifted below its post-earnings levels as "CapEx fatigue" sets in across Big Tech. With 2026 spending guidance soaring to $115–$135 billion for AI infrastructure, investors are flinching at the potential for near-term margin compression. Until Mark Zuckerberg can prove this massive spend is translating into direct bottom-line growth, we’re likely stuck in this volatile holding pattern. It may take another quarter or two of "flawless execution" to convince the skeptics that this isn't just a repeat of the Metaverse spending cycle.
