Facebook (META) increases 2025 capital expenditure outlook on additional data center investments

Today, Facebook (Meta) disclosed its first-quarter earnings report for the year 2025. The corporation posted impressive numbers and decided to elevate its projected capital spending plan for 2025 in order to establish additional data centers that will support its artificial intelligence projects.

On April 30, 2025, META unveiled its Q1 2025 earnings report. In this document, they disclosed their capital expenditures amounting to $13.69 billion. Moreover, they anticipate a rise in these expenditures from between $60-65 billion to potentially $64-72 billion.

In 2025, we estimate our annual capital expenses, which incorporate principal payments for finance leases, will likely fall between $64 billion and $72 billion. This is an upgrade from our previous prediction of $60-$65 billion. The revision stems from increased spending on data centers to boost our artificial intelligence initiatives and higher-than-anticipated infrastructure hardware costs. However, the bulk of our capital expenditures in 2025 will still be allocated towards our primary business operations.
