Meta reports in the segments Family of Apps and Reality Labs. The Family of Apps includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads and WhatsApp as well as the Meta AI assistant. Almost all revenue comes from ad placements in these apps that advertisers pay for. Most advertisers manage their campaigns through self-service, and a global sales force also serves advertisers directly and through agencies. Reality Labs earns revenue from hardware, software and content, for example with Meta Quest and glasses with artificial intelligence. These devices reach customers through retailers, sales partners and its own channels.

Key figures with traffic lights
Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median Sector medianThe middle value of all companies in a sector: half are above it, half below. Unlike the average, single outliers hardly distort it.Example: Margins 4%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 60% → median 10%, average 18.8%.More in the Academy: Lesson putting the P/E in context of all 24 symbols in the Communication Services sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).
Revenue growth
Growth per year (CAGR)The average annual growth rate over several years, as if the value had grown equally strongly every year. Individual good or bad years even out in it.Example: Revenue €100m → €161m in 5 years → (161 ÷ 100) to the power of 1/5 − 1 = 10% per year.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth
Light green: above sector
+18.5%per year, last 5 years
Sector Communication Services: median +6.7% (22 symbols)
What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 18.5% per year on average – at least as fast as the median company in the sector (+6.7%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
Net income (total)
Growth per year (CAGR)The average annual growth rate over several years, as if the value had grown equally strongly every year. Individual good or bad years even out in it.Example: Revenue €100m → €161m in 5 years → (161 ÷ 100) to the power of 1/5 − 1 = 10% per year.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth
Light green: above sector
+15.7%per year, last 5 years
Sector Communication Services: median +12.7% (12 symbols)
per share: +18.4% per year (5 years, split-adjusted)
What does this mean? Total net income: over 5 years it grew by 15.7% per year on average – at least as fast as the median company in the sector (+12.7%).
Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.
Sector Communication Services: median 9.8% (24 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 30.08 USD remained as profit – at least as much as the median company in the sector (9.8%). Five years ago the margin was 33.9%.
Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.
Debt / equity
Debt-to-equity ratioFinancial debt (loans, bonds) divided by equity. A high value amplifies good and bad years alike. The key figures bar in the chart only uses long-term financial debt.Example: Financial debt €300m, equity €500m → 0.6.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth
Light green: lower than sector
0.30latest balance sheet
Sector Communication Services: median 0.57 (17 symbols)
What does this mean? For every 1 USD of equity there is 0.30 USD of financial debt – no more than the median company in the sector (0.57). More debt amplifies good and bad years alike.
Light rule: Green: at most the sector median · Yellow: up to twice the median · Red: more than twice · Gray: without a sector comparison.
Payout ratio
Payout ratioThe share of profit that a company pays out as a dividend. Above 100% it pays out more than it earns.Example: Dividend €1, earnings per share €2.50 → payout ratio 40%.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth
Light green: covered
9%Dividend / earnings per share
Sector Communication Services: median 24% (7 symbols)
What does this mean? Of every 1 USD of earnings per share, 0.09 USD went to shareholders as a dividend. The rest stays in the company. Median company in the sector: 24%.
Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.
Profitable years
Profitable yearsHow many of the last fiscal years ended with a profit rather than a loss on the bottom line. The figure shows how consistently a company earns.Example: Profit in 9 of 10 years → one loss year.More in the Academy: Lesson revenue, profit and margin
Light green: profit every year
10 of 10fiscal years with a profit
What does this mean? In 10 of the last 10 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. There were no losses in this period.
Light rule: Green: profit in every year · Yellow: one loss year · Red: several loss years (at least 3 years needed).

* Q4 derived: fiscal year minus the 9-month value (EPS cannot be derived this way); may be distorted by restatements.
How we calculate: values as first reported to the SEC (later corrections are left out), a fixed order of reporting tags per figure, partial sums are never added up. Growth per year Growth per year (CAGR)The average annual growth rate over several years, as if the value had grown equally strongly every year. Individual good or bad years even out in it.Example: Revenue €100m → €161m in 5 years → (161 ÷ 100) to the power of 1/5 − 1 = 10% per year.More in the Academy: Lesson debt, dividends and growth over 5 years (otherwise 3 years). Quarters are labeled by the calendar quarter in which they end.
Insiders
Insider transactionsExecutives, directors and major shareholders (over 10%) of US companies report their own transactions in their company’s stock to the SEC within two business days (Form 4). Purchases in the market count as more meaningful than sales (often taxes, estate planning).Example: Three executives acquire stock worth a total of 2 million USD within two weeks → “purchases by several insiders”.More in the Academy: Glossary
