Meta Q3 revenue rises 26% to $64.6B as AI ad tools pay off
AI take
The signal here is pricing power, not volume: average ad prices rising faster than impressions suggests AI-driven targeting and measurement are lifting yield per ad, which matters for any platform monetizing attention. The legal charge is the complication — the headline operating-income drop is a one-off distortion, and the after-hours move implies the market is already separating the two. What's worth watching is whether price growth keeps outpacing impression growth as AI ad tools scale, since that mix is the cleaner read on durability than the top-line beat itself.
