Jim Cramer on Meta: “I’d Like to See More Justification of That Spend”

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls on Mad Money recently as he recapped mega-cap tech earnings. Cramer highlighted the company’s increased capital expenditures outlook and said:

Now, call me confused when it comes to Meta. I’ve been mulling it over before I came out here. I know they announced they upped their capital expenditures by $10 billion. And you know what? When you do that, all I have to say is [don’t buy, don’t buy, don’t buy]. But then again, they did have the fastest revenue growth in five years, so maybe they should spend. But then again, I’d like to see more justification of that spend. But then again, I absolutely like that the revenues were up 33%. You see what I mean? Boom, boom, boom. I didn’t want that, though. I just wanted there to be boom, right?
