None of Meta Platforms, Inc.'s Form 8-K filings listed by EDGAR reports a completed acquisition or disposition under Item 2.01, so the revenue record reflects its existing businesses more directly than a serial acquirer's would. Deals too small to require an 8-K can still contribute. Earlier filings were made under a former name, which matters when searching EDGAR or older research; the company's CIK number (1326801) stays the same across names. Each year shows the revenue from the latest 10-K that reported it, so a year a company later restated can differ from the figure it first published, and most companies moved to a new revenue tag after the 2018 change in revenue accounting. ## Where This Timeline Comes From Revenue, stock splits and former names come from Meta Platforms, Inc.'s filings with the SEC, read from EDGAR's XBRL company facts and submissions data on October 5, 2026. Acquisitions and disposals are those reported as completed under Item 2.01 of a Form 8-K in the filings EDGAR lists for the company, each checked against the filing itself.
