BusinessMeta Raises 2026 AI Capital Expenditure Forecast to Up to $145 Billion
Meta raised its 2026 AI capital expenditure forecast to $125 billion to $145 billion after posting Q1 revenue growth of 33%. Despite strong earnings, investor concern over spending levels pushed the stock down about 10%.
Meta released its Q1 2026 financial report on April 29th. The company's quarterly revenue reached $56.31 billion, representing year-on-year growth of 33%.
However, the company simultaneously raised its full-year artificial intelligence capital expenditure forecast to between $125 billion and $145 billion. This exceeds the previously forecasted range of $115 billion to $135 billion.
Meta stated that the increased spending primarily reflects rising component prices this year and data center expansion costs.
Investors expressed concern about such massive expenditures, questioning when return on investment will materialize.
Following the announcement, Meta's stock price declined by approximately 10% in pre-market trading.
Moreover, large technology companies' massive investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure have already sparked widespread market attention.
