Meta Platforms reported strong Q1 results, surpassing revenue and earnings per share expectations, with operating margins steady at 41% despite a 35% rise in expenses. The company's AI investments are showing clear returns, notably through products like Lattice and GEM, which have doubled ad conversion rates and monetization run-rates.
