META has only made $78.7 billion operating income in the past 12 months of returns. Time to buckle up!

It's really difficult to wrap one's head around the cash they're able to deploy.

They “deploy” much more than what they generate.

Their cash position has gone from $44bn to $12bn in the first six months of the year and are now getting other people to pay for datacenters https://www.reuters.com/business/meta-taps-pimco-blue-owl-29...

I take offense to your implication this is an incorrect usage of the word deploy.

As opposed to employ? :p

I really hope they told the Louisiana regulators this in the meeting yesterday because the argument was something along the lines of “Meta is worth $2T”

Ouch. Other FAANG in a similar position?

I guess there's no 'M' in "FAANG" but there's this:

FAANG has been replaced by Mag7: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Broadcom, Meta, Microsoft, and Nvidia.

Why not bloomberg instead lol

Does Broadcom do anything but get hate for their shitty decisions? They are becoming, if they aren't already, the new Oracle.

Lol get out of the echo chamber

Edit: to make this helpful, look at Broadcomm interconnect, switching technology, copackaged optics

At the current price of $107,586 per kilo of gold, that is 731,507 kilos of gold per year. A rail box car has a load limit of 92,500 kilos. Eight full box cars, or 16 half full box cars of gold currently represents the annual output of META.

23:1 P/E. Not Tesla levels of stupidity but still high for a mature company.

385 comments based on a clickbait headline from telegraph (you know that sophisticated tech focused newspaper...)

An astonishing number

how does this compare to the depreciation cost of their datacenters?

dh2022 5 days ago | parent | next [-]

The financials from the link to not specifically call out Depreciation Expense. But Operating Income should take into account Depreciation Expense.

The financials have a line below Net Income Line called "Reconciled depreciation" with about $16.7 billion. I do not know what that means (maybe this is how they get to the EBITDA metric) but maybe this is the metric you are looking for.

Most of the operating expenses seem to be in the $13 billion "R&D" spend on the Q2 2025 statement.
