Meta Stock: Could Cloud Computing Be Its Next Move?

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg indicated that entering the cloud computing market is "definitely on the table," positioning it as a potential long-term option if the company builds excess AI capacity. While the cloud market is massive and growing (reaching $129 billion in Q1 2026), Meta would face significant challenges competing against established players like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. The company would likely need substantial investments and could face years of losses before profitability, similar to Google Cloud's experience.
