Meta Stock Waits for AI Weekend Signal
Meta shares closed at $632.51 Friday, down 0.44% for the day but up 3.6% for the week, outpacing the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Reports say Meta will test an AI-powered pendant next year as part of a broader wearables strategy, while Reality Labs posted a $4.03 billion loss last quarter. The board approved a quarterly dividend of 52.5 cents per share, payable June 25. Meta raised its 2026 capital expenditure forecast to $125-$145 billion. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said a cloud-computing unit is possible if AI expansion leaves extra datacenter capacity.
