Meta is rumored to be planning a new stock issuance to finance its massive $145 billion AI infrastructure expansion, despite investor concerns about the risks involved. The company has so far avoided dilution by funding AI growth through debt, but short sellers expect a "monster secondary" stock sale soon, possibly timed with the upcoming Anthropic IPO. Meta's AI personal assistant platform, Muse, offers optimism for future growth, but increased stock supply could pressure share prices. Meta will address these concerns during its third-quarter earnings announcement.
Meta's rumored plan to issue new stock for its AI expansion comes as the company's shares are currently trading higher. On Pluang, META is priced at USD 709.60, up 2.21% as of Oct 22, 2026 00:02 WIB, with a market cap of $1.77 trillion. Despite investor concerns about dilution, buying interest remains strong with 59% of Pluang orders on META being buys, reflecting ongoing confidence in the stock's potential.
