Meta launches to attract investments of 85,000 million dollars to finance its spending on AI

Meta Platforms intends to obtain up to 95,000 million dollars (84,782 million euros) to finance its investments in AI through different public offerings of the company's ordinary shares and convertible preferred securities, as reported this Monday by the multinational owner of Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram reported by Europa Press.

Meta contemplates the sale of approximately $35 billion (€31.236 million) through public offerings, including approximately $22.5 billion (€20.08 billion) in Class A common shares and approximately $12.5 billion (€11.156 million) in depositary receipts representing preferred shares.

Likewise, the company plans to carry out a market sale program (ATM) of approximately 60,000 million dollars (53,546 million euros) in Class C shares. This program is not expected to begin until the first quarter of 2027, once trading in this class of company securities has begun, although Meta has warned that it has not signed any agreement in this regard nor have its size and terms been determined yet.

The company led by Mark Zuckerberg has indicated that Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom have expressed, "individually and not jointly", their interest in acquiring up to a total of 5,000 million dollars (4,462 million euros) in Class A common shares offered in the public offering, at the same price and under the same conditions as the other buyers, although it has stressed that "these expressions of interest do not constitute binding purchase agreements or commitments", therefore, they may decide to acquire more, fewer or no Class A common shares in the public offering.

In the third quarter of 2026, Meta recorded a net profit of 9,860 million dollars (8,750 million euros), an increase of 264% compared to the same period a year ago, while the company's income totaled 64,601 million dollars (57,653 million euros), 26% more.
