Historical source-based research. Compilation date and financial period are different dates.

Research summary

A two-period review of META revenue, profitability and cash conversion; reported revenue growth was 22.17%.

Period comparison

FY2025 ended 2025-12-31; the prior observation ended 2024-12-31. Revenue moved from USD 164.501 billion to USD 200.966 billion. These are annual periods, not quarterly earnings or trailing-twelve-month estimates.

Earnings bridge

Net income moved from USD 62.360 billion to USD 60.458 billion. Operating income moved from USD 69.380 billion to USD 83.276 billion. Net margin moved from 37.91% to 30.08%. A margin change identifies an outcome; its causes require management discussion and footnotes.

Cash-flow cross-check

Operating cash flow was USD 91.328 billion in the earlier period and USD 115.800 billion in the later period. Selected free cash flow was USD 54.072 billion and USD 46.109 billion, respectively. Working-capital timing can cause earnings and cash to diverge.

Interpretation and limits

A rise in reported revenue does not by itself identify organic growth. A difference in EPS can reflect share-count changes as well as operating performance. No causal claim is made from these aggregate figures.

Valuation context

Company profiles show eligible dated valuation ratios using the September 17, 2026 price snapshot and selected annual accounting denominators. Capitalization-based measures use estimates and are identified as such. These are not live, TTM or forward values. A historical-multiple series and EV/EBITDA are not available. Sector medians describe a selected sample; they do not establish fair value or expected returns.

What to monitor

Advertising exposure, subscription economics, network investment and cash conversion.

Risks and uncertainties

Audience migration, content costs, competition, capital intensity and privacy regulation.
