META posted FY revenue of $263B, up 30.9% YoY, but our econometric model shows the step-up isn’t driven by higher R&D or SG&A spending; R&D elasticity -0.77x and SG&A elasticity -1.96x imply incremental investments in these lines are not the near-term growth engine and may even dampen revenue.

our econometric model shows Verizon's revenue is essentially flat (-0.6% YoY), with SG&A spending yielding a modest 0.55x ROI per dollar, implying growth will hinge on capex-driven network improvements rather than SG&A expansion.

AT&T’s FY revenue of $122B fell 3.3% YoY, and our econometric model shows SG&A elasticity of 0.91x, meaning SG&A spend moves revenue nearly proportionally.
