Meta Platforms, Inc. Q3 2026 Earnings: Live Updates of $META Earnings Call, Stock Forecast

Meta Platforms (META) is scheduled to report its third-quarter 2026 financial results after the market closes Wednesday, with investors looking for another quarter of strong advertising growth while closely watching the company’s enormous artificial-intelligence spending.

Wall Street expects Meta to report quarterly revenue of roughly $63.3 billion. Analysts are also focused on the impact of a planned roughly $10 billion legal charge tied to the company’s settlement with a bipartisan coalition of state attorneys general over allegations concerning the impact of Facebook and Instagram on children and teens.

In August, Meta agreed to a settlement worth up to $17.1 billion with the states, along with a series of new child-safety measures for its platforms.

The settlement is expected to weigh heavily on reported third-quarter earnings, although it does not change the underlying operating performance of the business.

Beyond the legal charge, investors will be watching Meta’s advertising business, user engagement and the returns it is getting from its rapidly increasing investment in AI infrastructure and products.

Live updates from the company’s earnings report and conference call will be posted on TheStreet.com as they become available. Check back periodically for the latest.
