Meta Blows Past Q4 Expectations With Record Revenue and Profit as Zuckerberg Touts Massive AI Investment


Meta reported record quarterly revenue and net profit for Q4 2024 as it looks to massively boost spending on AI in 2025.

The strong results come as the company is looking ahead to a massive increase in AI-fueled capital spending in 2025 — and as Meta CEO and chairman Mark Zuckerberg has been working to win the favor of President Trump, an erstwhile antagonist of the tech giant.
