Mark Zuckerberg Said Meta's AI Bets "Haven't Come to Fruition Yet" as Shares Fell 5%
Yahoo Finance ·
Meta Platforms ( META +6.16% ) is one of the big spenders in the artificial intelligence (AI) race. Its capital expenditures in 2026 will total between $125 billion and $145 billion. At the midpoint, that estimate would be 88% higher than last year's figure. However, investors have reason to be skeptical that this will result in a meaningful payoff. CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who currently has a net worth of $231 billion, admitted that the company's AI bets "haven't come to fruition yet." He said that during an internal town hall on July 2, Reuters reported. The social media stock dipped 5% that day, although it's up 19% in the month of July (as of July 10).

Meta Platforms is aggressively doubling down on the AI race, increasing its 2026 capital expenditures by 88% year-over-year to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion. However, the stock fell 5% in a single day after CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that AI investments have yet to yield tangible results. Investors are adopting a cautious stance due to rising uncertainty regarding the timeline for monetization relative to the massive capital outlay.
