Meta Shares Plunge as AI Investments Raise Spending Outlook
Meta Platforms Inc. shares slid after the company raised its spending outlook for the year, reigniting fears that the historic levels of investment it’s making to build artificial intelligence models won’t pay off. The social-media giant projected full-year capital expenditures between $125 billion and $145 billion, far exceeding analysts’ estimates and marking a roughly 7.4% increase from what the company had previously projected. The company is dealing with “higher component pricing” and additional data center costs, Chief Financial Officer Susan Li said in a statement. Bloomberg's Kurt Wagner joins to discuss.
