If the specified company does not release quarterly earnings materials for the specified quarter by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”. If the specified metric is reported as a range rather than a specific number, the midpoint of the range will be used for resolution of this market.

Recent catalysts include March 25 layoffs of roughly 700 staff primarily in Reality Labs to reallocate resources toward AI infrastructure, following Reuters reports of potential 20% cuts that proved overstated, plus smaller April reductions of about 200 amid $115-135 billion 2026 capital expenditures. These efficiency measures counter hiring in AI talent, with Q1 earnings on April 28 key for resolution amid ongoing restructuring.
