Meta shares plunge 11.3 per cent after $70 billion AI pledge

CommSec’s Ryan Felsman says shares in Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta plunged 11.3 per cent following the company’s announcement it would spend $70 billion on capital expenditure associated with artificial intelligence.

“We have seen investors speak overnight by a splurge in AI spending, and we have seen the Dow Jones Index down by 0.2 per cent, the S&P 500 index has fallen one per cent, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq index is down 1.6 per cent,” Mr Felsman told Sky News Australia.

“Meta Platforms, the Instagram parent – its shares were down 11.3 per cent overnight after it said it was going to spend $70 billion on capital expenditure associated with artificial intelligence.”
