Meta Platforms stock traded at EUR 639.70 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026, at 9:39 a.m. CEST. Meta announced on October 12, 2026, that it will release third-quarter results after the market close on October 21, 2026.

Revenue sets the earnings baseline

Meta reported USD 60.81 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, up from USD 56.31 billion in the first quarter. The sequential increase was USD 4.49 billion, or 7.97 percent, giving the upcoming report a clear operating benchmark.

Net income attributable to common shareholders reached USD 15.85 billion in the second quarter, compared with USD 26.77 billion in the first quarter. Diluted earnings per share were USD 6.18, versus USD 10.44 in the preceding quarter, so revenue growth and cash generation will matter alongside the earnings figure.

What does October 21 mean for Meta?

The scheduled release will be Meta's first quarterly report since the launch of its Muse AI agent, a development that has raised attention around artificial intelligence investment and monetization. CNBC reported on October 18, 2026, that analysts expect earnings per share to rise 460.00 percent year over year, while investors are assessing whether higher artificial intelligence spending can translate into durable profit growth.

Next dates for shareholders

Meta's third-quarter 2026 results are scheduled for October 21, 2026, after the market close. The company also scheduled its conference call for 4:30 p.m. ET on the same date, giving investors a second time marker for management's discussion of revenue, spending and profitability.
