Meta Platforms reported Q1 2026 headcount at 77,986 full-time employees as of March 31 in its April 30 earnings release, reflecting a modest 1% year-over-year increase but a sequential decline from 78,865 at 2025 year-end amid ongoing efficiency measures. This figure aligns with trader consensus on stabilized workforce levels post-prior optimizations, supporting robust financials including $56.3 billion revenue (up 33% YoY) and 41% operating margin expansion to $22.9 billion. Driving sentiment are April announcements of ~8,000 layoffs (10% cut) starting May 20 to fund $125-145 billion full-year capital expenditures for AI infrastructure, prioritizing capital efficiency over expansion. Upcoming Q2 earnings in late July will provide next workforce update.
