Update
What changedReuters reports that the cost of insuring Meta’s debt against default has reached a record high, adding a credit-market signal to investor concerns about the company’s AI spending. Meta shares fell more than 7% on Thursday, Reuters says, despite better-than-expected results and a strong sales forecast.
Meta raised the lower end of its annual capital-spending forecast by $5 billion, to a range of $135 billion to $145 billion. Reuters also reports that Meta plans to create a new class of non-voting shares to help fund AI investment, acquisitions and employee compensation, with issuance potentially starting as early as autumn 2026.
The record credit-default-swap level does not by itself establish that Meta is at risk of default.
