The company expects 2026 capital expenditures to be notably larger than this year&#8217;s levels as it expands data centers and develops advanced AI models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Meta shares dropped 13.5% to $650.25 following the announcement, partly reflecting a $16 billion one-time income tax charge that erased more than $220 billion in market value.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">Despite investor concerns, analysts said the bond sale gives Meta flexibility to fund its AI roadmap as competition intensifies across the tech sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
