Meta Stock Slips on AI Spend Jitters as $4 Trillion Valuation Chatter Grows

Meta Stock Slips on AI Spend Jitters as $4 Trillion Valuation Chatter Grows

Meta Platforms slipped 1.3% Friday, with investors balking at the escalating costs of artificial intelligence—despite Meta’s framing AI as its future growth driver. “The market's viewpoint is that the AI build-out trade … got too pricey,” according to Andrew Wells, chief investment officer at SanJac Alpha. Timing is critical here.

  • Maruti Suzuki up 4% after Jefferies upgrade, higher target price
    June 30, 2026, 3:34 AM EDT. Maruti Suzuki India shares rallied almost 4% on June 30 after Jefferies boosted its rating to "Buy" and lifted the price target to Rs 16,500, a call that points to 23% upside. Jefferies said the upgrade was driven by stronger passenger vehicle demand and softer input costs from lower crude and metals. The automaker, which leads the Indian market with a valuation near Rs 4.4 lakh crore, is up 12.6% over the past year against a weak Nifty 50. The brokerage firm also raised EPS estimates for FY27-FY29 and sees 16% CAGR in earnings through FY29. Broader indices Sensex and Nifty slipped, held back by IT, FMCG, metals, and banking stocks, even as Maruti outperformed.
