Meta's July 29, 2026, Q2 earnings triggered the dominant near-term pressure on its stock, with shares falling roughly 10% after the company missed EPS expectations amid $2.4 billion in legal contingencies and severance charges while delivering record $60.8 billion revenue. Traders are focused on Meta's decision to lift the 2026 capital-expenditure floor by $5 billion to support accelerated large-language-model training and data-center expansion, which crushed free cash flow to just $784 million. Strong advertising growth, fueled by AI-driven personalization that lifted impressions 14% and pricing 12%, continues to underpin the core business, yet investors remain wary that infrastructure costs could outpace monetization gains through August. Upcoming catalysts include any follow-through on hinted cloud-computing revenue streams and further Meta AI product updates, while broader tech-sector rotation and regulatory overhang on data practices add volatility to month-end closes.

If the two specified prices are exactly equal, this market will resolve to "No".
Closing prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) does not trade at all during the regular session of the final trading day of the month, the market will resolve 50-50.
For a standard full trading session, the closing price refers to the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of regular trading hours on the primary exchange. If the relevant session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of that shortened session will be used.
If the relevant day has no valid Pyth Close value for the 1-minute candle corresponding to the end of regular trading hours on the primary exchange, the market will use the last valid Pyth price achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange as the effective closing price. If no valid Pyth price exists for that trading day due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption, the official closing price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine the closing price for that day.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed security during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market will be Pyth, specifically the "Close" values for the relevant 1-minute candle for Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.META%2FUSD.
