Meta on Wednesday reported quarterly earnings that topped market expectations, as revenue grew along with investments in artificial intelligence. "We had strong business performance in 2025," Meta co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said in an earnings release. Meta expects to spend more than $100 billion this fiscal year, driven by increased investment in Meta Superintelligence Labs and its core business. The earnings report came as a landmark trial accusing Meta of being among tech firms addicting young people to social media gets underway in Los Angeles. Social media firms are accused in hundreds of lawsuits of addicting young users to content that has led to depression, eating disorders, psychiatric hospitalization and even suicide.
