Open original source ↗$META earnings tonight key points:
Bottom line: I expect the stock will be up because Zuckerberg will remind investors long term he wants revenue to grow faster than expenses.
➡️ Last quarter the stock traded down 11% after the print on the flip of the script around the relationship between revenue and expense growth.
➡️Street is looking for 22% ad growth compared to 26% in Sep. March the Street is looking for 21.5% growth.
➡️The key question is when will we see margins improve. Street is expecting 40.9% in December, compared to 40.1% in September, but investors expect it to dip to 36.1% in March and 36% for June and September.
➡️ Capex. The street is expect 57% increase in CY25 over CY24. I don't expect that to change tonight. The Street is looking for AMZN up 17%, GOOG up 29% and MSFT up 30%.
➡️On the call, I'll be listening for updates on how they will monetize a proprietary (yet to be released) model that goes beyond Llama.
➡️Also, has there been any uptake on the new glasses? I think the answer is growing off a small base.
