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

Executive summary

Annual revenue of USD 200.966 billion and net income of USD 60.458 billion for the period ended 2025-12-31. This is a structured data brief from filed financial statements, not an independently audited investment opinion.

Business and industry context

Meta Platforms, Inc. is an SEC-reporting issuer listed on NASDAQ under META. Its SEC industry description is Services-Computer Programming, Data Processing, Etc.. This profile organizes annual financial disclosures for research; sector labels are editorial groupings, not GICS classifications. Advertising, subscriptions and connectivity produce very different revenue and cash-flow models.

Financial evidence

The selected fiscal period runs from 2025-01-01 to 2025-12-31. Revenue was USD 200.966 billion; operating income was USD 83.276 billion; diluted EPS was USD 23.49 per share. Prior-period revenue was USD 164.501 billion. The reported revenue change was 22.17%. Comparisons are not adjusted for acquisitions, disposals, foreign exchange or fiscal-week differences.

Profitability and cash generation

Net margin, calculated as net income divided by revenue, was 30.08%. Operating cash flow was USD 115.800 billion; capital expenditure was USD 69.691 billion. Free cash flow (operating cash flow less purchases of property, plant and equipment) was USD 46.109 billion. Missing standard tags are not interpreted as zero. These measures may not be directly comparable between business models.

Balance-sheet context

Total assets were USD 366.021 billion, total liabilities USD 148.778 billion and reported shareholder equity USD 217.243 billion at the period end. Total liabilities include operating obligations and are not a measure of interest-bearing debt.

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.

Risks and uncertainties

Audience migration, content costs, competition, capital intensity and privacy regulation. Standardized XBRL can omit custom-tag disclosures. Annual data cannot establish the direction of the latest quarter.

What to monitor

Advertising exposure, subscription economics, network investment and cash conversion. Read subsequent quarterly filings, footnotes and accounting-policy changes before interpreting these historical observations.
