How to read this page
The surprise column is the gap between what Meta Platforms Inc. reported and what analysts expected, as a percentage of the estimate. It is the number that usually explains a large move on the morning after a report: a share price reflects what the market already expected, so results matter mainly where they differ from it.
A large surprise off a small estimate can look dramatic and mean very little. A company expected to earn $0.02 that earns $0.04 has beaten by 100%, and has earned two cents. Read the surprise beside the reported figure, never on its own.
META last traded around $670.24. Prices and estimates move independently, and an estimate that has not been revised since the last report can be badly out of date by the time the company reports against it.
