Verdict: Miss

Meta berichtete am 29. Juli 2026 einen GAAP-Diluted-EPS von 6,18 USD – ein klarer Miss von ~14% gegenüber dem Analystenkonsens von ~7,17–7,23 USD. Meta veröffentlicht kein separates Non-GAAP/adjusted EPS, d.h. der Marktstandard-Vergleich basiert auf GAAP. Der Miss brach eine sechsquartalslange Beat-Serie. Ursache: Gesamtkosten stiegen 55 % YoY auf 42 Mrd. USD – fast doppelt so stark wie der Umsatz (+28 %) – getrieben von 2,4 Mrd. USD Rückstellungen für laufende Rechtsstreitigkeiten und 1,18 Mrd. USD Abfindungskosten aus dem Stellenabbau ab Mai 2026. Der Free Cash Flow kollabierte auf 784 Mio. USD. Umsatz ($60,8 Mrd. vs. $60,19 Mrd. Konsens) schlug zwar die Erwartungen, doch die Vorhersage bezog sich explizit auf EPS. Die Aktie fiel ~10 % nachbörslich.
