Meta
Meta Platforms Inc. launched a $35 B stock sale to fund AI, but no shares were bought, so existing investors were not diluted. The sale followed a $400 B market‑cap wipeout and a ∼20% stock drop, putting the company into bear‑market territory. Revenue rose 26% to $64.6 B in Q3 FY2026; operating margin slipped to 20%; free cash flow turned negative $2.12 B, largely due to a $9.89 B legal charge. Meta plans to spend $135 B–$145 B on AI in FY2026 and will issue up to $60 B in new non‑voting Class C shares in Q1 2027, with NVIDIA, AMD and Broadcom showing non‑binding interest to purchase up to $5 B. Analysts rate the stock a buy, with an average target of $852.30 (~1.4× current price). Meta’s AI product portfolio includes Muse, Muse Plaid‑powered shopping, secure VM and related services.
