Meta dips after earnings miss as capex plans weigh on sentiment

Meta Platforms stock slumped up to about 9% after hours following a second-quarter report that missed on earnings per share ($6.18 vs. $7.14 expected) but beat on revenue ($60.8 billion).

The company narrowed and raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $135–$145 billion, signaling continued heavy data-center spending. Analysts described the results as barely passable, citing higher capex and only modest cash-flow improvement despite the top-line beat and a revenue outlook that still fell short of some forecasts.

IBM Hit by Oppenheimer Downgrade as Q2 Miss Triggers Selloff

Oppenheimer downgraded IBM to Perform from Outperform after the company reported a weaker-than-expected Q2 with preliminary revenue around $17.2 billion, citing softer demand for transaction-processing software, a shift in customer spend toward servers and storage, and several large contracts pushed into late quarter, a combination that sparked a sell-off; while Red Hat, HashiCorp, Confluent and the server/storage segments show strength, those gains aren’t enough to offset broader weakness, and IBM’s path to meeting full-year guidance may take longer as enterprise tech spending pivots toward AI infrastructure.
