Meta plans $20-25B bond sale to fund AI and infrastructure amid rating outlook downgrade

Meta is set to raise $20 billion to $25 billion through a bond sale, with two-thirds in U.S. dollars and one-third in euros, to support increased spending on AI infrastructure and services. This move follows S&P Global Ratings' downgrade of Meta's outlook from stable to negative due to concerns over high capital expenditures and negative free cash flow. Meta's recent quarterly report showed a $2.12 billion negative free cash flow and an increased full-year capex forecast of up to $145 billion. The bond sale is part of Meta's broader plan to raise $95 billion to fund AI initiatives, including equity offerings and market programs.

Meta Platforms holds a market cap of $1.55 trillion and an enterprise value of $1.58 trillion on Pluang as of Nov 04, 2026 01:51 WIB. The stock price is USD 623.02, up 2.68% on the day, while the dividend yield remains modest at 0.35%. Despite the recent negative free cash flow and increased capital expenditure plans, Meta's shares show active trading with a volume of 19,494,137 and a balanced order activity of 52% sell and 48% buy on Pluang.
