SCHILSKY’S SNAPSHOT

- META Q226 Earnings Preview – Hell or High Water(melon): The investor debate on META has shifted considerably

over the past two weeks. Instead of debating ‘How?’ META is going to monetize its huge capex investment, the debate

has not shifted to ‘How Much?’ and that is a much healthier place for the stock to be. As such, the stock is up about +20%

over the past two weeks and I think it’s safe to say that expectations for Zuckerberg’s prepared remarks on the call are

elevated. He’s laid out a credible plan to monetize his massive Capex investment via some combination of a Neocloud

business and an LLM API and now investors want to get a better sense for when this monetization needle will start moving –

and how big it can be. I highly recommend you listen to the Q226 earnings in real time – it’s going to be a banger. My view?
