S&P Global Ratings cut Meta Platforms Inc.'s credit outlook to negative on Friday, citing mounting pressure on the tech company's balance sheet from elevated artificial intelligence capital expenditures. The agency said Meta's ability to monetize its AI investments is more limited than that of its peers, and that it is unclear when this spending will generate material revenue exceeding rising costs. The downgrade comes as investors scrutinize whether Meta and other industry players can generate tangible returns from their large AI investments. The same day, the Nasdaq 100 fell 3.5% and briefly crossed the threshold of a technical correction, weighed down by disappointing tech earnings.

- S&P cuts Meta outlook to negative amid capex concerns
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on Meta Platforms to negative from stable, citing uncertainty over how long capital expenditures will stay elevated and its negative free operating cash flow. The agency projects Meta's capex will reach $140 billion this year and exceed $225 billion in 2027 and $252 billion in 2028. It expects free operating cash flow deficits of $22 billion in 2026 and $71 billion in 2027, narrowing to $39 billion in 2028. S&P said Meta's ability to monetize its AI investments is more limited than peers', and its adjusted leverage could rise to 1.3x when leases commence in 2028, above the 1.0x downgrade threshold for its current rating. Meta raised $37.5 billion through common and convertible preferred stock and plans to add $60 billion through a Class C at-the-market program starting January 2027.
- Meta equity raise signals continued support for AI spending: analysts
Meta plans to raise up to $100 billion in equity, including $22.5 billion of Class A common stock and $12.5 billion of mandatory convertible preferred stock, plus an at-the-market offering of up to $60 billion once non-voting Class C shares begin trading. Wedbush called equity the more conservative choice amid credit market strain, though Meta reported negative free cash flow of $2.12 billion in the third quarter, its first negative reading in over a decade, and guided for 2026 capex of $135 billion to $145 billion. Bank of America estimated a $95 billion raise could dilute 2027 EPS by about 6%, and forecast 2027 capex of $210 billion and negative free cash flow of $32 billion. Analysts flagged risks around persistent spending, shareholder dilution and whether AI monetization can keep pace.
- Cathie Wood's ARK Loads Up 38,110 Meta Shares Across 3 ETFs Despite Mounting AI Spending Concerns
Cathie Wood's ARK Invest bought 38,110 Meta Platforms shares across three ETFs on Thursday, as the stock fell nearly 7% to close at $648.85 after the company's third-quarter earnings report. Investor concern over AI spending grew after Meta raised the lower end of its 2026 capital expenditure guidance by $5 billion to a range of $135 billion to $145 billion, and announced plans for publicly listed, non-voting Class C shares in January 2027. Meta's five-year credit default swaps rose to a record 114.79 basis points, though Futurum Equities' Shay Boloor said the widening could reflect banks hedging their exposure rather than a weaker credit profile. Wedbush said Meta gave no additional visibility into its 2027 operating expenses and capital expenditures, while TD Cowen expects the company to issue equity, debt or both to fund its AI expansion. Year to date, Meta stock has erased all its gains and trades marginally lower.

Consumer staples was the best-performing group, up 3% on the day and more than 10% for the month, while Western Digital reported first-quarter revenue of $4.3 billion versus about $4.2 billion expected and adjusted EPS of 4.64 versus 4.10, with shares up about 3.8% after hours.

- Why Merck Stock Flew Higher on Friday
Merck (MRK) shares climbed more than 2% on Friday, extending the positive reaction to its third-quarter results posted Thursday, while the S&P 500 fell a relatively steep 1.8%.

The S&P 500 fell 2%, the Nasdaq 100 dropped 3.5% and the Dow eased 1.1% on Friday as investors pulled out of tech and AI after third-quarter results missed expectations and heavy AI capex plans weighed on cash flows; the Nasdaq 100 was down about 6.5% for the month. Intel (INTC) plunged the most in over forty years after weak quarterly results and a soft outlook, while Roblox (RBLX) fell about 20% after weaker user engagement and a disappointing fourth-quarter bookings outlook.

- Investors Have Poured a Record $2.24 Trillion Into ETFs This Year. Three Firms Collected Nearly Half of It
Investors put a record $2.24 trillion into ETFs worldwide through September 2026, and iShares, Vanguard and State Street SPDR together took $1.11 trillion, or 49.6% of global inflows. ETFs drew $276.06 billion in net inflows in September, the 88th straight month of inflows, but global ETF assets slipped to $23.91 trillion from a record $24.03 trillion at the end of August as equity markets weakened. The three firms managed $13.93 trillion at the end of September, or 58.3% of global ETF assets, with Vanguard leading year-to-date inflows at $440.69 billion through August. Active ETFs took in $733.95 billion year to date through September, well above $446.75 billion in the same period of 2025. Core S&P 500 funds still drew the most money, with SPY gathering $10.70 billion in September, the most of any ETF globally that month.

- Amazon Just Lost $42 Billion in Free Cash Flow. Is It a Red Flag for Investors?
Amazon posted strong growth in the quarter, with revenue up 17% to $201.9 billion after adjusting for foreign exchange and the Prime Day shift, and operating income up 61% to $28.1 billion. Yet the stock fell 1.4% in the regular session and tumbled about 7% after hours, as investors are skeptical of its massive AI-related capital expenditure, planned at $220 billion this year. In the third quarter alone, Amazon reported a free cash flow loss of $33.4 billion while spending $77.3 billion on property and equipment, and it has burned $42 billion in free cash flow over the last four quarters. The article says this equals 5.4% of trailing revenue, comparable to past cycle peaks such as 4.8% in 2022. Amazon forecasts 40% AWS growth over the next two years, and the author argues the spending could pay off through AWS.
