Meta's Q3 revenue jumps 26% with AI boosting ad performance and user engagement.

Meta Platforms reported a strong Q3 with 26.1% year-over-year revenue growth driven by AI investments. Its AI-powered ad model GEM improved ad conversions by 18.9% and click-through rates by 12%, while average ad prices rose 14%. Meta's AI assistant Muse reached 10.9 million downloads in 40 days, showing better user retention than competitors and promising future monetization. Despite concerns over capital expenditures and negative free cash flow, sustained revenue growth and AI-driven innovations could increase Meta's stock value beyond $749 per share.

Meta Platforms shares are trading at USD 684.59 on Pluang as of Oct 22, 2026 18:12 WIB, below their 52-week high of USD 777.59 but well above the 52-week low of USD 525.72. Despite the recent 1.85% decline in a single day, the stock's market cap remains substantial at $1.78 trillion. Investor interest leans bullish with 68% of orders to buy, reflecting confidence in Meta's ongoing AI-driven growth story.
