If You Invested $10,000 in Meta Platforms Stock 10 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

Meta Platforms has delivered a 434% total return over the past decade, turning a $10,000 investment in June 2016 into $53,380 today, outpacing the S&P 500. Despite current volatility with shares down 8% in 2026 and 23% from their August peak, the company's 3.56 billion monthly active users and attractive P/E ratio of 22.8 present a buying opportunity, though investors remain concerned about the company's massive $125-145 billion capital expenditure plans for AI infrastructure expansion.
