Meta Platforms' Q1 2026 earnings release on April 29 served as the dominant catalyst shaping trader sentiment, with robust ad revenue growth and an EPS beat overshadowed by a sharp upward revision to 2026 capital expenditures at $125-145 billion, largely for AI data centers and infrastructure. This fueled concerns over ballooning costs amid uncertain near-term returns on artificial intelligence investments, especially as competitors like Alphabet demonstrate clearer AI monetization paths. Shares plunged over 8% on April 30, closing at $611.91 versus $669.12 the prior day, reflecting trader skepticism on Meta's aggressive AI push despite strong platform engagement on Facebook and Instagram. Ongoing regulatory scrutiny over youth safety adds further headwinds, with Q2 results expected in late July.

If the final trading day of the month is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
The resolution source for this market is Yahoo Finance — specifically, the Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) "Close" prices available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/META/history, published under "Historical Prices."
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed company during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Yahoo Finance.
