Is it a good time to buy Meta Platforms stock?
The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.
Meta Platforms share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Meta Platforms's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$519.7783 up to US$793.6488. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Meta Platforms share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 6.87% of net profits
Recently Meta Platforms has paid out, on average, around 6.87% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.35% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Meta Platforms shareholders could enjoy a 0.35% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Meta Platforms's case, that would currently equate to about 2.1 per share.
While Meta Platforms's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Meta Platforms is investing more in its future growth.
Meta Platforms's most recent dividend payout was on 25 June 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 15 June 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
