為AI燒錢不手軟!Meta與3科技巨頭「自由現金流」皆為負

Quick Look

Meta因對資料中心的大舉投資,導致自由現金流轉為負值。儘管營收優於預期,但投資人對AI相關資本支出增加感到不安,導致Meta股價一週內下跌超過9%。

Why It Matters

Meta因應AI發展,大幅增加資料中心建設的資本支出,導致現金流狀況改變。

Font size

美國新聞網站《Axios》報導,對資料中心的大舉投資,使Meta加入亞馬遜、Alphabet與甲骨文等科技巨頭行列,從美國史上最會創造現金的一家企業,淪落為「負自由現金流俱樂部」的成員。

扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)的Meta在22日公佈乍看相當強勁的財報後,股價重挫,過去一週跌逾9%,顯示投資人對科技巨頭持續將越來越多資金投入資料中心的建設日益不安。

儘管Meta的營收與調整後的淨利高於華爾街預期,但該公司也提高今年資本支出預估區間的下限,並延後公佈2027年財測。Meta矢言,「預料我們將繼續積極投資」。

Meta的支出狂潮已徹底改變該公司的現金流狀況,使其從美國史上最會創造現金的一家公司變成為第3季現金流實為負值的企業。Meta當然並非個案,人工智慧(AI)的擴展也對其他超大型雲端服務供應商亞馬遜、Alphabet與甲骨文造成類似衝擊。

但這並不意謂Meta握有的資金部位已低到瀕臨危險,財報顯示,Meta持有的現金與有價證券超過820億美元。

報導說,Meta正創建一個新的股票類別,亦即在不削弱創辦人扎克伯格對公司的控制權下,籌集更多資金。

儘管Meta沒有宣佈任何新的資本計畫,但明年1月發行無投票權C類普通股的決定將稀釋現有股東所持股票的經濟價值。Meta也可在債券市場舉債,但此舉也將增加風險。

推升股市的AI熱潮能否持續,取決於資本市場是否大舉提供融資,因此過去一週AI相關類股下跌的市場反應顯示投資人疑慮加劇,而這至關重要。
