Meta under pressure despite strong fundamentals

"Meta Platform still down 11% today. But the more interesting story to me is what's happening in the corporate bond market. Uh so the thicker of course is MEA. The stock tumbled as much as 14% in earlier trading. Of course, it comes after Mark Zuckerberg warned that the company will need to spend even more aggressively on AI, which is not the first time he does this. So perhaps that is not as surprising. But what we're seeing in the bond market is really impressive. Meta Platform said they're planning to sell 30 billion of investment grade bonds and the demand we're seeing there from investors. It's absolutely unprecedented."

Meta Platforms is experiencing significant stock decline amid plans for aggressive AI spending. While fundamentals and ad revenue are strong, the record-setting demand in its bond offering contrasts with downgrades and recent stock underperformance, leaving investors with a mixed short-term outlook.
