Dow Jones2026/07/30 11:33By Asa Fitch
Meta is anticipating capital expenditures of around $137.5 billion this year-a total that analysts expect to put it into negative free cash flow territory in the latter half of the year for the first time since its IPO in 2012.

Meta needs its spending to start paying off, soon.
