Bank of America lifts its target

Margins reflect the legal charge
Meta reported third-quarter revenue of USD 64.60 billion for the period ended September 30, 2026, up 26.00 percent from USD 51.24 billion a year earlier. The operating margin was 20.00 percent, versus 40.00 percent in the third quarter of 2025, after a USD 9.89 billion charge tied to a legal agreement. These figures came from Meta on October 21, 2026.
Price range and valuation
Meta's Nasdaq price of USD 643.02 at 11:45 a.m. EDT on October 26, 2026 sits between a 52-week low of USD 520.26 and a high of USD 779.82.

Next corporate milestone
Meta's approved Class C structure has an effective date of January 19, 2027, according to the company's October 21, 2026 release. The next reporting cycle will be assessed against the higher investment burden and the continuing expansion of its advertising business.
