Motley Fool Asset Management's Stake: $76.06 Million Mark Zuckerberg is on a spending spree despite Wall Street concerns about ROI, but bulls believe this huge CapEx would make sense in the long term. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) has already started to see results of using AI technology. Meta Platforms' (NASDAQ:META) AI-powered ads platform Advantage+ improves return for advertisers, which can in turn increase budget allocation toward Meta's platforms. Market research firm eMarketer estimates that Meta's net digital advertising revenue could reach approximately $240+ billion by 2026, slightly ahead of Alphabet's Google in the same category. Meta has over 3 billion daily active users across its family of apps. This scale provides both data advantages for AI training and consistent operating cash flow to fund infrastructure expansion without balance sheet stress. For the first quarter of 2026, Meta expects $53.5 billion to $56.5 billion in revenue, ahead of analyst estimates
