This extensive financial analysis provides a comprehensive overview of Meta Platforms (META), detailing its Q2 2025 earnings which showcased strong revenue and profit growth driven by its core advertising business. It examines Meta's business model, emphasizing the dominance of ad revenue from its vast user base, while also discussing the nascent but loss-making Reality Labs segment and new initiatives like Meta Verified. The report then identifies key short-term and long-term risks Meta faces, including regulatory challenges, economic cyclicality, and its significant metaverse investments, before breaking down the company's cost structure into its fixed and variable components. Finally, it thoroughly assesses Meta's management team, shareholder dynamics, and aggressive share buyback program, concluding with a Warren Buffett-style intrinsic value estimation and an evaluation of Meta against various Buffett financial criteria, ultimately suggesting Meta is a high-quality company that currently trades at a price offering limited margin of safety.
