Meta and NVIDIA reported strong but contrasting Q1 earnings reflecting different roles in the AI market. Meta showed steady ad revenue growth of 33% and is heavily investing in AI infrastructure with a raised 2026 capex guidance of up to $145 billion, despite ongoing losses in Reality Labs. NVIDIA, benefiting from AI demand, posted an 85% revenue increase, driven by its Data Center products, and is returning cash to shareholders through buybacks and dividends. Investors face a choice between Meta's patient, ad-funded AI buildout and NVIDIA's direct monetization of AI infrastructure, with NVIDIA currently favored for its growth and valuation potential. Upcoming quarters will test Meta's revenue growth and NVIDIA's ability to maintain guidance amid geopolitical risks.
