Frequently asked questions
What is Meta Platforms Inc.'s revenue?
Meta Platforms Inc.'s trailing twelve-month revenue is $214.96B, and consensus projects about $610.00B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is META?
In its most recent fiscal year, META ran a gross margin of 82.00%, an operating margin of 41.44%, and a net margin of 30.08%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does META generate?
META produced $46.11B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is META's balance sheet healthy?
META holds $35.87B in cash and equivalents against $58.74B in long-term debt, on $217.24B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
