Meta Platforms closed June 2026 at $563.29, shedding roughly 11% of its value over the month after trading above $620 in early June, driven by a raised 2026 capital expenditure forecast to $125-145 billion primarily for AI infrastructure. The $20 billion gap between the low and high end of that range is larger than the entire annual revenue of most S&P 500 companies. Meta’s Q1 2026 revenue grew 33% year-over-year, but reports of executive departures within Meta’s AI division surfaced during the month. Reality Labs, Meta’s metaverse-focused division, continues to operate deep in the red, with operating losses expected to remain elevated throughout 2026 and the company reportedly considering budget cuts to the metaverse segment. Meta plans to integrate third-party stablecoin payments across its platforms in the second half of 2026, working with existing stablecoins rather than creating its own, and is developing an internal prediction markets app called Arena. In May 2026, Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter questioning Meta’s stablecoin plans, raising concerns about data privacy and financial oversight.
