Here is a succinct summary of the article with 7 key points:<\/p>\n

– Meta, under CEO Mark Zuckerberg, saw its shares drop more than 5% following a Financial Times report suggesting a potential stock offering to fund AI investments.
\n– The report speculated that Meta might raise tens of billions, mimicking Alphabet’s recent announcement of an $85 billion equity raise.
\n– Despite the speculation, a Meta spokesperson called the report “pure speculation,” affirming the company’s focus on flexible capital raising for AI opportunities.
\n– Both Meta and Alphabet have dramatically increased their capital expenditures to build AI infrastructure, with Meta raising its 2026 capex guidance to up to $145 billion and Alphabet increasing its to $190 billion.
\n– While Alphabet’s stock has surged more than 115% in the past year due to a thriving cloud business, Meta’s stock has fallen 13%, making Meta the worst performer among its large-cap internet peers.
\n– Wall Street’s differing valuations of the two companies are influenced by Alphabet\u2019s robust cloud services whereas Meta lacks such clear justifications for its AI spending.
\n– Meta has not yet hired banks for a potential stock sale, indicating the speculation might not be imminent.<\/p>\n
