Meta is now firmly focused on artificial intelligence, but its core business is still booming.
The tech giant handily topped Wall Street expectations in its Q2 earnings report Wednesday, with revenue surging 22 percent year over year to $47.5 billion, and net income up 36 percent to $18.3 billion. Family daily active people across its platforms, which include Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were 3.48 billion on average for June 2025, an increase of 6 percent year-over-year, with ad impressions and the average cost per ad also rising.
The earnings report was released a few hours after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a letter outlining his vision for “personal superintelligence.”
“Meta’s vision is to bring personal superintelligence to everyone. We believe in putting this power in people’s hands to direct it towards what they value in their own lives,” Zuckerberg wrote, adding that “if trends continue, then you’d expect people to spend less time in productivity software, and more time creating and connecting. Personal superintelligence that knows us deeply, understands our goals, and can help us achieve them will be by far the most useful.”
“We’ve had a strong quarter both in terms of our business and community,” said Zuckerberg in a statement alongside the earnings report. “I’m excited to build personal superintelligence for everyone in the world.”
