"In March, we completed the IPO of our senior housing business in a unique and creative transaction," and Brinker said "we closed more than $700 million of acquisitions on our balance sheet prior to the IPO" and "we expect the IPO proceeds to be accretive to Healthpeak by roughly $0.04 per share once fully invested and stabilized" (President, CEO & Director Brinker).

"We bought back $100 million of stock in April at a 10-plus percent FFO yield" and Brinker said "the buyback was accretive and allowed us to increase our 2026 earnings guidance" (President, CEO & Director Brinker). "We reported FFO as adjusted of $0.45 per share and net debt-to-EBITDA of 5.4x" (Chief Financial Officer Kelvin Moses). Outlook "The repurchase is accretive to earnings and supports raising our FFO as adjusted guidance to a range of $1.71 to $1.75 per share" (Chief Financial Officer Moses).

Kira-Yan/iStock Editorial via Getty Images On April 29, 2026, Meta Platforms, Inc. ( META ) reported its first-quarter 2026 earnings , which were among the strongest in its recent history, and yet the stock dropped about 6%. So if you’re watching the ticker, I wouldn’t blame you for thinking the company missed something, but it didn’t. Not even remotely. Revenue for the quarter came in at $56.31 billion, beating Wall Street estimates by 1.36% . It also hit the upper end of management’s guided revenue range of between $53.5 billion and $56.5 billion for the quarter. And earnings per share, excluding the tax benefit, landed at $7.31, outpacing estimates by 7.20%. By any measure, these aren’t the numbers of a company losing its footing. Meta’s momentum is clearly visible, and yet the post-earnings selloff happened anyway. The drop was largely driven by the company’s newly raised CapEx range and a legal-related news item, which I’ve also covered in the later sections. Considering how strong Meta’s underlying business is, the potential growth drivers in the pipeline, and the fact that I’m in for the long haul, my Strong Buy rating remains firmly in place. What was in Meta’s first quarter 2026 earnings? Let’s have a look at what was announced. Total revenue rose 33% to $56.31 billion compared to the same period last year, and this was largely driven by Meta’s Family of Apps. Here’s a glance at the company’s segment performance and how it compares with last year: Segment First Quarter 2026 First Quarter 2025 Year over Year Advertising (FOA) $55.02B $41.39B +33% Other Revenue (FOA) $0.89B $0.51B +74% Family of Apps Total $55.91B $41.90B +33% Reality Labs $0.40B $0.41B -2% Total Revenue $56.31B $42.31B +33% Click to enlarge Note: USD in billions. Revenue from the Advertising segment within the Family of Apps rose 33% to around $55 billion, while Other revenue within that same segment surged 74% to nearly $900 million. Although the latter line item appears small in the grand ...
