Meta Platforms' Q2 earnings will highlight its capital expenditure guidance, already revised for 2026, with market attention on its ability to monetize AI infrastructure investments. The company is shifting toward becoming a neocloud provider and compute lessor, including a possible $10 billion deal with Anthropic, which could help reduce its valuation discount by creating new revenue streams.
