Meta Platforms reported a negative free cash flow of $2.12 billion in Q3 2026, driven by heavy spending on data centers. However, the company saw a 14% increase in price per ad, which outpaced impression growth for the first time since early 2025. Excluding a $9.89 billion legal charge, Meta's operating margin was 35%, but costs have exceeded revenue for five consecutive quarters. With $454.5 billion in noncancelable commitments, Meta has limited flexibility to reduce spending if ad prices slow down.
