Quick thoughts ahead of $META earnings shortly: Key question: What does the monetization roadmap look like for Muse? Despite app downloads showing that AI capex is translating into real demand, my gut feeling is that Zuck will give a more hollistic view on AI monetization that lacks any real detail. This ultimately boils down to Meta's strategy of scale first, monetize later. Which then raises the usual capex questions particularly with Meta now positioning themselves as a frontier AI lab with their new Muse Wonder models. They'll need more compute if they're really taking this AI thing seriously. The current FY26 capex guide is $130-145B, so any increase to this without a clear AI monetization roadmap could be detrimental if I take a glass-half-empty view...particularly with consensus FCF deeply in the red at roughly -$9B for Q3. So how do Meta finance this exactly? Is it via their Blackrock agreement, or some combination of debt/equity? Again, something we'll need clarity on, layered on top of their monetization plans. I ultimately think that Zuck needs to really sell the longer-term AI vision today.
