Meta Platforms, Inc. delivered a strong Q3, with 26%+ Y/Y revenue growth and robust earnings. META's launch of Muse AI signals a strategic pivot toward agentic AI, workflow optimization, which could help the company diversify its business going forward. High capital spending caused Meta's free cash flow to dip into negative territory in Q3. However, Meta is set to return to positive FCF long-term.
AU is rated BUY. The stock trades at 12.3x trailing earnings with a 5% trailing yield and holds $991 million of net cash. AU targets a 50% payout of annual FCF. The last four dividends total $4.52 a share, and the TTM FCF yield is 8.4%. AU's Q2 2026 AISC rose to $2,039 an ounce. Management kept full-year guidance and expects higher H2 output and lower unit costs.
While negative free cash flow often signals trouble, Meta's temporary dip is a deliberate reinvestment into its high-growth future.
