Meta stock slips as $10 billion Indiana AI data center plan collides with Ackman’s new stake
Meta shares fell nearly 1% to $662.15 Thursday morning after the company broke ground on a $10 billion, 1-gigawatt data center in Lebanon, Indiana. Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square disclosed a $2 billion Meta stake acquired late last year. Meta expects capital expenditures to rise to $115–$135 billion in 2026, up from $72.22 billion in 2025, driven by AI infrastructure spending.
