what happened
According to TradingView, Meta (META) plans to sell about $95–97.5B of shares to fund investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure. About $25B of Class A shares has already been priced through forward sales at $625 each, with proceeds tied in part to the 5GW Hyperion data center campus in Louisiana.
S&P moved its outlook on Meta to negative, citing AI capex of $135–145B, projected free cash flow shortfalls through 2028 and adjusted leverage that could rise above 1.0x by 2027. Nvidia, for its part, plans to invest $3B in Meta's Class A shares.
why it matters
Both the size of the equity raise and the cash flow trend matter for the market. Meta posted quarterly cash burn after earlier positive free cash flow. New shares dilute existing holders, and the rating pressure keeps investors focused on the company's debt load.
