Meta Platforms posts strong Q3 earnings but limits dividend growth due to rising capital expenditures.

Meta Platforms reported better-than-expected Q3 results with EPS of $7.40 and revenue of $64.6 billion, driven by record user engagement. However, the company raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $135–$145 billion, more than double last year's, which will constrain free cash flow and limit near-term dividend growth. Despite this, long-term prospects remain positive as AI investments are expected to drive meaningful dividend increases within three to five years.

Meta Platforms shares trade at USD 617.70 on Pluang as of Oct 29, 2026 19:01 WIB, up 0.85% for the day. The stock holds a market cap of $1.57 trillion with a dividend yield of 0.34%. Pluang investors show strong interest, with 76% of order activity on the buy side.
