市场资讯及洞察
Expected earnings date: Wednesday, 28 January 2026 (US, after market close) / early Thursday, 29 January 2026 (AEDT)
Key areas in focus
Advertising (Family of Apps)
Advertising remains Meta’s dominant revenue driver. AI-driven ad targeting, Reels monetisation, and engagement efficiency can be important contributors to revenue growth and may support advertiser outcomes, noting results can vary by advertiser, format, and market conditions.
User engagement and monetisation
Engagement trends across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads remain closely watched as indicators that can influence monetisation assumptions and medium-term expectations.
Artificial intelligence
Meta views AI as a foundation for content discovery, advertising performance, and the development of generative tools. Markets may continue to evaluate whether AI-driven gains offset the level of infrastructure and data centre investment required to support these projects.
Reality Labs
Reality Labs remains loss-making. Management continues to frame AR/VR and metaverse-related platforms as long-term strategic investments, while acknowledging continued operating losses and a drag on earnings performance.
What happened last quarter
Meta’s most recent quarterly update highlighted strong revenue growth alongside ongoing investment themes.
The company’s reported (GAAP) net income and EPS reflected a one-time, non-cash income tax charge disclosed in the earnings materials, while management commentary also emphasised cost discipline and investment priorities.
Operating margins expanded year-on-year, despite elevated AI-related investment.
Last earnings key highlights
- Revenue: US$51.24 billion
- Earnings per share (EPS): US$1.05 (GAAP)
- Advertising revenue: US$50.08 billion
- Operating margin: 40%
- Reality Labs operating loss: about US$4.43 billion
How the market reacted last time
Meta shares fell in after-hours trading after the release. Commentary at the time highlighted strong top-line outcomes, alongside investor focus on the outlook for spending and the pace of AI and infrastructure investment.
What’s expected this quarter
Bloomberg consensus points to continued year-on-year revenue growth, led by advertising, with operating margins expected to remain elevated despite ongoing AI and infrastructure expenditure.
Bloomberg consensus reference points (January 2026)
- Revenue: about US$41 to US$43 billion
- EPS: about US$4.80 to US$5.10 (adjusted)
- Advertising growth: high-teens year on year (YoY)
- Operating margin: expected to remain above 40%
- Capital expenditure (capex): elevated, reflecting AI and data centre investment
*All above points observed as of 23 January 2026.
Expectations
Sentiment around Meta Platforms may be sensitive to any disappointment around advertising demand, margin sustainability, or the scale of ongoing investment in AI and Reality Labs.
Recent price action suggests that some market participants appear to be pricing in a relatively constructive earnings outcome, which can increase sensitivity to negative surprises.
Listed options were pricing an indicative move of around ±3% based on near-dated options expiring after 28 January and an at-the-money options-implied ‘expected move’ estimate.
Implied volatility was about 31% annualised into the event, as observed on Barchart at 11:00 am AEDT on 23 January 2026.
These are market-implied estimates and may change. Actual post-earnings moves can be larger or smaller.
What this means for Australian traders
Meta’s earnings may influence near-term sentiment across US technology indices, particularly the Nasdaq, with potential spillover into broader global equity risk appetite and index-linked products traded during the Asia session after the release, which can be volatile and unpredictable following earnings events.
Important risk note
Immediately after the US close and into the early Asia session, Nasdaq 100 (NDX) futures and related CFD pricing can reflect thinner liquidity, wider spreads, and sharper repricing around new information.
Such an environment can increase gap risk and execution uncertainty relative to regular-hours conditions.

2023年尾中国股市开始大跌，整个市场进入了至暗时刻。究其原因，首先外商对中国市场失去信心，导致中国外资大量且迅速地撤出是中国股市在2023年底开始大跌的主要原因之一，早在2023年中的时候外国资金便已经陆续开始净流出了，基于对中国经济长期增长放缓担忧，政治局势变幻莫测带来的极大风险，使得外国资本对中国市场失去信心，对指数形成压制，外资不断从A股流出，据统计截至年底外资净流出已达687亿美元，市场的恐慌情绪不断扩大从而引起羊群效应，大家纷纷开始抛售股票。再者，MSCI指数调整带来的不确定性，以及量化产品引发大众纷纷开始集中抛售中小市值股票。
2024年2月中国发布一系列救市政策，各个指数开始回升。自二月伊始，中国政府频繁出击发布一系列举措来挽救股市，2024年2月7日，中国股市监管机构承诺防止 “市场异常波动” ，中国于2月7日意外更换证监会主席为吴清。吴清，一位素来有 ‘券商屠夫’之称的新任掌门人。证监系统出身的他，有着十分丰富的金融监管经验，在其任职证监会监管相关工作期间作风十分强硬，处置过多家违规证券公司。这是一个很有意思的举措，不难看出中国政府在向市场参与者传达一个十分明确且强烈的意愿：“金融市场监管改革，我是认真的。”那么现在我们回归k线图来看，日线级别上在当天最终以一根大阳线收盘，期间最大涨幅甚至超过1%。并且在除息日当天就处置了63位招商证券员工并合计处罚8173万元，行动之迅速可见其大刀阔斧改革之决心，可以说是完全没有辜负他这令金融界闻风丧胆的名声了。但效果也十分显著，这些举措的确有效稳定了市场的情绪，股民开始对中国股市重拾信心。
与此同时中金发布公告肯定目前A股的市场配置价值并且扩大ETF的增持范围，适时传递出了稳定市场的信号。自开年以来整体ETF市场已经迎来高达3698. 68亿元的资金净流入。基于自2010年至2023年的历史数据来看，五大指数走势基本一致，均在春节前后有不同程度的涨幅，再加上本次春节期间利好消息不断发布，新年伊始自2月20日起，证监会新任主席吴清就已经针对加强资本市场监管、防范化解风险、推动资本市场高质量发展等问题与各级市场参与者展开了会谈，证监会所传达出的未来工作重点将会是：1.提高上市公司质量，2.加强上市公司的全过程监管，3. 加强证券公司和公募基金监管，4. 加强对融券业务的监管以打击恶意做空。同时在座谈会之后一大明显的变化是证监会允许微信用户在其公众号下方发表评论。这些举措对市场产生了较为积极明显的信号，证监会广开言路的态度，以及强烈的维护市场稳定和坚守监管主责的决心非常成功地稳定了广大投资人的信心。可以说新官上任这三把火烧的还是很深得人心的，2月23日，上证指数持续反弹态势，沪深指数重新守在3000点上方并且实现了8个交易日连续收阳。打击融券业务方面也初见成效，融券余额目前已下降24%至637亿元。同时A50与HK50也连续三天收阳足以说明市场情绪得到了有效的稳定。新年前后A股市场初步显露回升迹象，并呈现出了外资回流加仓A股的变化，截至2月28日收盘，北向资金2月净买入额已达到441.41亿元，已实现连续8个交易日净买入。MSCI指数调整方面并没有太大的变化，A股依旧保持着20%的纳入因子比例，总市值占比也并没有过大变化。技术形态分析目前看来这一系列的举措对目前的市场产生了较为积极的影响，China50和HK50逐渐迎来修复行情，各项政策的发布，经济渐趋稳定复苏，以及市场情绪在中国政府的救市努力下已逐渐恢复积极态度，市场对金融市场监管政策改革的积极响应以及对经济回升预期的逐渐升温，投资情绪日渐恢复，大家可以持续关注开始寻找入场机会了。同时现在市场上的积极情绪也可在k线图中有所印证，技术形态上恒生指数目前已逐渐显露出形成底部形态的节奏，在16427是一个非常重要的支撑阻力互换位，可静待时机待其守住颈线之后适时寻找交易机会。
(Source: TradingView)CHINA50技术形态与恒生指数走势相似，11645为其关键支阻互换位，需要关注其拉回该位置时是否能够站住再择机布局建仓。

我承认，每天早上睡觉起来，打开手机，看到钱又多了，多了一套首付，在2024年的这2个多月，很多人做到了。甚至，一天醒来多了套悉尼豪宅的人，我也见到了。2024年，金融市场注定充满神话。因为，我们在新旧交替的尾声。旧世界，还在运转，新世界的财富，已经以几何倍速增加。
新世界，链接全球的人，也连接了全球的数据。连接了过去数十年的数据，这些数据包含了全人类在几千年留下来的所有资料。这就是新世界，跨越时空，跨越种群。农业社会，价值靠人们的劳动，汗水，靠着粒粒皆辛苦，创造出来。工业社会，价值靠燃油机的推动，通过机器放大了力量，将一个人的劳动，变成了一个可以使用物理工具的工业行为价值。信息社会，价值靠信息快速传递，通过互联网和物联网自动化，将一个人的劳动或行为，快速传递到每一个终端，人类第一次跨越了物理障碍，第一次触碰到了空间。
AI社会，人类第一次触碰到了时空。那是过去千年文明的精华与糟粕，是所有互联网记忆的结果。最终，价值由数据和逻辑自行生成，演变，我们成为了“造物主”，在虚拟的世界里，产生了一个又一个生态。这种生态不一定是碳基，也不一定是硅基，但是他们可以自行分裂，成长，就像细胞一样，在电磁与量子的世界里，绽放出世界的未来。
就如同2000年互联网泡沫一样，大家对今天的AI，也是充满了好奇，与谨慎。而互联网真正腾飞的时间，并不是在2000年。正如当下的资本市场，对AI充满热情，但是群众还在忧郁。新旧的交替，很快会随着下一代人长大，成年，而在几年间迅速更迭。我们清楚的知道，2000年互联网成为了泡沫，是因为当时30岁的人，出生于1970年，世界上最强有力的劳动和智慧群体，并没有从小接触过电脑。对他们来说，互联网，很虚幻，很陌生。正如2024年的AI，1994年的人们，小时候刚刚知道扫雷，纸牌游戏。而我们看2000年出生的孩子们，从小是抱着iPad长大，刚出生就可以拍抖音，帮家里分担经济问题，创收能力远超父母。对他们来说，二次元是正常的，元宇宙是和全世界聊天交朋友的地方，就和我们现在使用微信一样。对他们来说，AI，太正常了，虚拟现实，那就是这个世界的真理。
2023年，Threads产品5天使用人数破亿，超越ChatGPT史上用户增长速度最快的消费级应用程序。曾经，破亿，iTunes 用了 6 年半、Twitter 用了 5 年、Meta（Facebook）用了 4 年半、WhatsApp 用了 3 年半，Instagram 则花了 2 年半，TikTok 用了 9 个月。ChatGPT用了2个月。这就是新世界的速度。5天，相当于旧世界（互联网时代）的5年。希望能够震撼到你，无论你30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100岁，你很幸运，我很幸运，我们站在时代的拐点，已经搭上了新时代的速度，那不是马车，不是火车，不是飞机，不是高铁，也不是互联网的速度。正如过去历次的更迭，这一次的超越，就好比火车替代了马车。
你还觉得AI远么，在去年的今天，全球已经有1亿人使用了ChatGPT。而我在去年的2月份网课中，询问ChatGPT，未来涨势最好的股票是谁，ChatGPT回答说是英特尔。而从去年至今，英特尔股价上涨6倍。如果我们拿出来1000澳币零花钱，用个3倍杠杆，目前是1.8万澳币。这就是AI的力量。
资本市场的狂欢，是押注全人类新时代的革命，终将胜利。3年后，比特币的价格，英伟达的价格，AI各类股票的价格，会将亚马逊，苹果30年的价格走势，浓缩到3年，这就是新时代的速度。这是一个遍地黄金的时代，是属于下一代的时代，我们都只是时代的引路人。真正的百家争鸣，是我们的下一代带来的，是那些从小拍抖音，从小用ChatGPT的孩子们带来的。某特/币的价格从2024年1月1日的42,265美元飙升至2024年3月4日68,537美元，涨幅接近 62%。纳斯达克指数在上周四创历史新高。科技盛宴，还没有结束。
对于普通投资者，最好的方法，就是定投纳斯达克。既然不懂，就用最简单的方法，交给全世界最优秀的100家公司，让他们卷去，我们躺赚。还在投澳股的朋友，还不配置美股资产么？配置不是All In，定投全世界最好的。除非你认为澳洲在全世界会有竞争力。高昂的人工成本，税率，高昂的创业试错成本，无法批量产生规模效应的人口数量，没有交通优势的独立大陆，势必在科技领域难有作为。所以，我建议大家，配置一些纳斯达克指数。定投，不要All In。担心美股太高的，那都是伪命题。美股代表的，是全世界人类的科技和生产力。价格高高低低很正常，但是长期看，只要人类不内战，美股最终都会创出新高。免责声明：GO Market分析师或外部发言人提供的信息基于其独立分析或个人经验。所表达的观点或交易风格仅代表其个人；并不代表 GO Markets 的观点或立场。联系方式：墨尔本 03 8658 0603悉尼 02 9188 0418中国地区(中文） 400 120 8537中国地区(英文） +248 4 671 903作者：Jacky Wang | GO Markets 亚洲投研部主管
