1. Meta plans to raise $95 billion from shareholders to pay for its AI build-out

Meta said on Monday it will raise a total of $95 billion for AI infrastructure and what it calls "personal superintelligence". It is starting with about $35 billion of underwritten public offerings, roughly $22.5 billion of ordinary shares and $12.5 billion of a new mandatory convertible preferred stock, followed by a planned programme to sell up to $60 billion more shares on the market from early 2027. Meta said Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom were interested in buying up to $5 billion of the shares. Last week Meta raised its 2026 spending forecast to $135–145 billion and reported negative free cash flow; its shares rose 1.6% before the market opened.
