The Meta share price has reached a new record, closing at $786 on August 12, 2025. This milestone reflects a 3.15% surge in a single day, fueled by better-than-expected Q2 earnings and growing optimism about Meta’s artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives.
Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, reported $47.52 billion in revenue and $7.14 earnings per share for Q2 2025, beating Wall Street estimates. The strong financial performance has reinforced investor belief that the company’s AI innovations, such as advanced ad targeting and next-generation content creation tools, will drive long-term growth.
Industry analysts note that Meta’s focus on AI infrastructure and machine learning models is positioning it as a leader in the next wave of internet technology. The announcement of AI-powered productivity tools and metaverse integration features has also added to investor excitement.
The Meta share price has now climbed over 60% year-to-date, making it one of the best-performing large-cap stocks in 2025. Market experts suggest the bullish trend could continue if AI adoption accelerates and global ad spending rebounds.
