Meta now reaches nearly 3.5 billion users on Facebook, Instagram and other applications. And Mark Zuckerberg says that the company’s mission is to provide them with a “personal superintendent”.
The company published results in the second quarter of 2025 which considerably exceeded the expectations of Wall Street. The meta generated turnover of $ 47.52 billion, up 22% and increased in net profit by $ 18.34 billion, an increase from one year to the other of 36%, translating into action by $ 7.14. Analysts’ consensus estimates were $ 44.8 billion in revenue and BPA of $ 5.92 by LSEG.
Meta also issued optimistic quarter directives, providing for total turnover in a range of $ 47.5 billion to $ 50.5 billion, which would increase by 17% to 24%.
Earlier Wednesday, Zuckerberg exposed his vision of the meta with regard to “superintelligence”, an ill -defined term that some have described as a system of hypothesis of AI which replaces human intelligence. “I am extremely optimistic that superintelligence will help humanity to accelerate our pace of progress”, the co-founder and CEO of the meta written in a post. “But perhaps even more important is that superintelligence has the potential to start a new era of personal empowerment where people will have a greater agency to improve the world in the directions they choose.”
Zuckerberg continued: “Meta’s vision is to bring personal superintendent to everyone. We believe that it is necessary to put this power in the hands of people to direct it towards what they appreciate in their own life. ” He contrasting that with “other members of the industry who believe that superintelligence should be directed centralized towards the automation of all precious work, then humanity will live on a dole of its production”.
If AI trends continue, according to Zuckerberg’s crystal ball, people “spend less time in productivity software and more time to create and connect”.
Zuckerberg spends a ton to try to speed up Meta AI capabilities compared to competitors like Google and Openai.
Last month, Meta announced an investment of $ 14.3 billion in the AI-training start-up scale. As part of this, the founder and CEO of Scale, Alexandr Wang, joins Meta as Director of AI and will co-direct the new meta-superient laboratories (according to the AI scale, Wang will continue to serve as director for the board of directors of the scale and “support of the support scale to unlock the power of the AI and keep human values in the first plan.”)
In April, driven by IA investments, Meta increased the expected capital expenses by 2025 between $ 64 billion and $ 72 billion, increased compared to its previous expectation of $ 60 billion and $ 65 billion.
On Wednesday, the meta-director of the CFO Susan Li reduced that CAPEX varies to $ 66 billion to $ 72 billion, which, in the middle, increased by around 30 billion compared to 2024. In advance, Li declared in prepared remarks, the company expects “similar” growth of CAPEX in 2026 “while we are pursuing opportunities.
In June 2025, Meta said that daily active users of its applications were on average 3.48 billion, up 6% in annual shift (and against 3.43 billion three months ago). The metric “Family Daily Active People (DAP)” includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Whatsapp and Threads.
Meta had 75,945 employees on June 30, 2025, an increase of 7% from one year to the next. The company had $ 47.07 billion in cash and equivalent at the end of T2, with an available cash flow of $ 8.55 billion for the period.
