Meta shares are down about 10% in 2026, as major investors appear to be reducing exposure despite Wall Street's continued optimism 📉
The main concern is Meta's massive $125B–$145B AI investment, with no established cloud business yet to generate returns like its biggest rivals 🤖
Unlike Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, nearly 98% of Meta's revenue still comes from advertising, making AI monetization a key question 💰
Reports suggest Meta is developing a cloud platform called Meta Compute, but the project remains in its early stages ☁️
Market flow indicators show institutional investors may be rotating capital from Meta to Google, favoring Google's already profitable AI infrastructure.
Options traders have also become more cautious ahead of earnings, although analysts continue to maintain Buy ratings with higher price targets 📊
Meta's next major catalyst will be its July 29 earnings report, which could determine whether investor concerns over AI spending are justified.
