META Share Price Edges Higher Ahead of Earnings Report

Meta Platforms (META) saw its share price rise by about 1% yesterday, following the announcement of its new Meta AI app—an AI-powered personal assistant for mobile phones, similar to Google Gemini.

While this news might have sparked stronger gains in a different market climate, investors are showing caution ahead of Meta’s quarterly earnings release, scheduled for after today’s main trading session. According to media reports, expectations are as follows:

• Revenue: $41.35–$41.5 billion, marking a year-on-year increase of approximately 13–14%.

• Earnings per Share (EPS): $5.22–$5.29, up 11–12% from the same period last year.
  

Key Drivers to Watch in Meta’s Earnings Report

Several factors could significantly influence META’s share price following the results:

• Advertising Revenue: Accounting for about 96% of Meta’s income, this segment faces potential pressure from Chinese advertisers—such as Temu—who may cut spending due to evolving US tariff policies.

• AI and Augmented Reality Investments: If concerns persist over the long-term returns of these initiatives, investor sentiment may turn cautious.

• Forward Guidance: Projections for Q2 and full-year 2025 revenue and earnings will be closely scrutinized amid ongoing uncertainty around US trade policy.

While most Wall Street analysts still rate META a “Buy,” some reduced their price targets in April. The stock has fallen nearly one-third from its all-time high in February.

Technical Outlook

META’s stock followed a strong upward trend earlier in 2025, including 19 consecutive days of gains in February. However, that trend channel (highlighted in blue) now appears less relevant.

The psychological level of $500 is acting as strong support, while $585 serves as a key resistance level. The upcoming earnings report could spark increased volatility and a possible test of one of these critical price points.
