Meta reported a consistent $4 billion quarterly loss on its Reality Labs division, totaling $83.5 billion since 2021, reflecting ongoing challenges in its metaverse efforts. Despite this, Meta posted strong Q1 earnings with $26.8 billion net income and $56.3 billion revenue, driven by its social media business. The company is shifting focus to AI, planning to spend $125-145 billion by 2026 to compete with AI leaders like OpenAI, with CEO Zuckerberg emphasizing increased infrastructure costs and investment efficiency. Investor concerns remain high as Meta's CFO noted unpredictable future capital needs, causing a 5% stock drop after hours.
