Facebook (otherwise known as Meta) posted its latest earnings results for the recent quarter, and with it came the latest look at the health of the social media, VR/AR, and AI-focused company. For its Q3 2025 earnings results, the company put up a win on revenue expectations, but couldn’t get to a win on earnings-per-share (EPS). It wasn’t for lack of trying, but a $15.93 billion tax charge did substantial damage to Meta’s bottom line for the quarter. Meta posted its Q3 2025 earnings results on its investor relations website this week. On revenue, the company put up a final number of $51.24 billion for the quarter. That was more than enough to beat out the $49.34 billion that was expected from Wall Street. EPS was far more sketchy for Meta in Q3 2025, due to a one-time tax charge the company details below: That ultimately led to Meta putting up a final EPS of $1.05 per share, compared to the $6.61 per share expected out of Wall Street and the 7.21 per share estimated in the Earnings Whisper number. Meta claims that without this credit, the EPS would have been $7.21 per share. Thankfully, Meta investors won’t have to worry about that tax charge more than once, but it’s still a large blemish on the company’s Q3 2025.
