Meta has beaten EPS consensus for eight consecutive quarters. Current consensus is $7.18–7.32; BofA projects $7.50. Meta's Q2 revenue guidance of $58–61B was stated conservatively — a consistent Meta pattern. AI-driven ad revenue continues double-digit growth; the capex raise to $125–145B signals high management confidence. No specific Kalshi/Polymarket market exists for Meta EPS; beat probability is anchored to historical beat rate and analyst sentiment.

Verdict: Miss
Meta berichtete am 29. Juli 2026 einen tatsächlichen EPS von ca. 6,18 USD – etwa 14 % unter dem Konsensus von ~7,17–7,22 USD und weit unter dem prognostizierten Wert von >7,20 USD. Die acht Quartale andauernde EPS-Beat-Serie brach damit ab. Hauptursachen: 2,4 Mrd. USD Rückstellungen für Rechtsstreitigkeiten sowie 1,18 Mrd. USD Abfindungskosten aus dem Stellenabbau im Mai 2026 drückten die operative Marge von 43 % (Vorjahr) auf 31 %. Der Umsatz von 60,8 Mrd. USD übertraf mit +28 % YoY zwar die Erwartungen (~60,2 Mrd.), konnte den Gewinneinbruch aber nicht kompensieren.
