About Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms NASDAQ:META lets people stay in touch using mobile apps. Its services help users share photos and send messages to friends. The company also makes headsets for exploring virtual worlds.

Connecting Billions Daily

Family of Apps: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp for social connection and advertising; generated $64.16 billion in revenue for the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2026.
Reality Labs: Virtual and augmented reality hardware, software, and content including Quest; generated $443 million in revenue for the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2026.

Steps Toward the Future

Launched Muse in 2026 as an artificial intelligence tool that can perform tasks for users.

Reached an agreement in Aug. 2026 with state attorneys general regarding safety for younger users.
Issued $24.91 billion in net proceeds from senior unsecured notes in May 2026.

What Makes Meta Different

Meta uses artificial intelligence to power its discovery engine and recommend content to users. It maintains two distinct divisions that separate its established social apps from long-term research into future technologies. The company invests heavily in its own data centers and network hardware to support these digital services.

A Look at the Books

Total revenue was $64.60 billion for the three-month period ended Sept. 30, 2026, up 26% year over year.

Average daily active people grew to 3.64 billion in Sept. 2026, up 3% year over year.
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities reached $82.45 billion as of Sept. 30, 2026.

Bottom Line

Meta has transitioned from a single social website into a global technology company focused on apps and artificial intelligence. Its shift toward immersive hardware and AI tools marks an evolution in how it connects people across the globe.
