Meta Platforms (ISIN US30303M1027) priced a USD 25.0 billion Class A common-stock offering on October 27, 2026, expanding a financing plan tied to its artificial intelligence investment program. The company also priced USD 12.5 billion of depositary shares representing mandatory convertible preferred stock, according to Meta.
Capital raising gets more precise
The Class A offering was upsized from USD 22.5 billion to USD 25.0 billion. Meta set the public offering price at USD 625.00 per Class A share and said the forward-sale agreements initially cover 40.0 million shares.
The preferred securities carry a 6.50 percent annual dividend rate on a USD 1,000 liquidation preference. Meta said the preferred offering is expected to close on October 29, 2026, subject to customary conditions, while the Class A offering is expected to close on the same date.
Three dates define the shift
On October 21, 2026, Meta reported third-quarter revenue of USD 64.60 billion and announced a non-voting Class C share structure. On October 26, 2026, it launched approximately USD 35.0 billion of concurrent offerings. On October 27, 2026, it priced the Class A portion at USD 25.0 billion and the preferred portion at USD 12.5 billion.
What does the funding mean?
Meta expects 2026 capital expenditures of USD 135 billion to USD 145 billion, while its separate planned Class C at-the-market program could reach USD 60.0 billion. The company says that program is not expected to begin until the first quarter of 2027 and that its timing, size and terms remain subject to future decisions.
Next corporate milestones
The offerings are expected to close on October 29, 2026. Meta's new non-voting Class C structure has an intended effective date of January 19, 2027, while the company says the Class C shares are intended to qualify for listing on Nasdaq after issuance.
Funding remains tied to execution
Meta's third-quarter operating margin was 20 percent, compared with 40 percent in the year-earlier quarter, and the period included a USD 9.89 billion legal charge. That contrast leaves the financing plan closely linked to the cost of building AI infrastructure and to the company's ability to convert that spending into operating growth.
