Targets are read from the sentences of the EX-99 exhibits of 8-K item 2.02 filings (13 releases since 2023-11-01), without AI; in outlook tables only the first column is read. The result compares the reported number with the last range given before the period was reported. Results come from SEC's XBRL company facts, as first reported. A company's target can use its own definition (META's capital expenditures include finance lease payments, for example), so read the quote.
