Meta Platforms is investing heavily, with $31.1 billion spent in Q2 and a raised 2026 capex forecast of $130-$145 billion, aiming to develop advanced AI models. CEO Mark Zuckerberg indicated the company is close to launching frontier-class AI, emphasizing proprietary model development as key to future growth. Despite a 15% stock drop this month due to high expenses and compressed margins, Meta’s revenue grew 28% and operating cash flow rose 25%. Investors await Meta’s AI model reveal at the September 23 Connect event, which could shift market sentiment.
