Meta posts $60.80 billion Q2 revenue but misses EPS estimate; shares fall as CapEx guidance floor rises

AI Market Summary
Meta's Q2 revenue beat expectations, supported by higher ad impressions and pricing, but adjusted EPS missed materially and free cash flow was weak relative to operating cash flow. Management raised the low end of future expense and capex guidance, reinforcing concerns about AI infrastructure spend. After-hours shares fell, suggesting near-term pressure on large-cap tech sentiment despite resilient advertising trends.
