Meta Platforms' trader sentiment has soured following its April 29 Q1 2026 earnings beat, where revenue surged 33% to $56.3 billion on robust advertising across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp platforms, alongside EPS of $10.44 topping estimates. However, the company's upward revision of 2026 capital expenditures to $125-145 billion for artificial intelligence infrastructure—aimed at bolstering competitive positioning against OpenAI, Google, and xAI—ignited fears of margin erosion, prompting a 6%+ after-hours plunge. China's April 27 block of Meta's $2 billion Manus AI acquisition adds regulatory friction to global expansion efforts. With the trading week closing May 1, intraday volatility from bond issuance talks and AI spending scrutiny will determine final positioning.

If the final session 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, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
