Meta(META.US), the parent company of Facebook, announced after the US equity market closed on Wednesday that its 3Q25 revenue increased by 26% YoY to US$51.2 billion. However, due to the implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by US President Donald Trump, the Company had to prepare for the valuation of tax assets.

As a result, 3Q25 net profit had to deduct an one-time non-cash income tax charge of US$15.93 billion, causing net profit to plummet by 83% to US$2.7 billion during the perid, with diluted EPS at US$1.05. The stock dipped over 8% in after-hours trading.
