Meta shares slide on weaker revenue outlook, AI investment burden grows

Meta\'s shares fell more than 6 percent in after-hours trading after it issued a third-quarter revenue forecast below market expectations and showed worsening cash flow as it ramps up investment in AI infrastructure. Second-quarter revenue beat estimates but earnings per share missed. Daily active people came in slightly below forecasts. Meta raised its 2026 capital expenditure outlook, and free cash flow fell sharply from a year earlier.
