- Nvidia to invest $3 bln in Meta share offering as part of bigger AI partnership
Nvidia said it will invest $3 billion in Meta Platforms' recent equity offering as part of an expanded partnership focused on Meta's Muse AI models. The companies will work together to improve inference and training performance for Muse, while Meta plans to expand its use of Nvidia infrastructure in its data centers, including Vera Rubin and Vera CPUs to power AI agents, and deploy Nvidia networking technology. The move follows positive user response to Muse agents, with the Muse agent app becoming one of the most downloaded apps within a week of launch. Separately, Meta upsized its common stock offering to $25 billion from $22.5 billion, and with a depository share offering, the total could reach $37.5 billion, priced at $625 per common share and $50 per depository share. The raise is aimed mainly at funding Meta's AI infrastructure buildout, and Meta had also said it plans a separate $60 billion non-voting share offering in 2027.
- Meta is raising even more cash to fund the AI build-out — as much as $95B
Meta plans to raise as much as $95 billion to keep funding its AI build-out, through several stock sales. The plan includes $35 billion of common and preferred stock and up to $60 billion through an at-the-market share sale program. Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom have together committed to buy $5 billion of the common shares. Shares, which had been trading higher, slipped in pre-market trading, and the hosts noted the spending is already baked into estimates. Investors are questioning when the heavy spending will pay off, with some reports saying Meta's models are not keeping up with rivals.

- Meta, SpaceX, Anthropic stoke the AI funding frenzy. What it means for our stocks
Meta plans to raise up to $95 billion in three steps: $22.5 billion of Class A common stock priced at $642.62 per share, $12.5 billion of preferred shares, and $60 billion from an at-the-market offering of Class C shares no sooner than next year. Elon Musk said SpaceX closed a $40 billion debt financing for GPUs, while Anthropic filed an S-1 for its IPO with a possible valuation of up to $2 trillion; the amount to be raised is undisclosed but could be tens of billions of dollars, if not $100 billion. CoreWeave has fallen 60% from its year-to-date high of nearly $139 on May 6 and hit a 52-week low just above $51. Musk said debt markets have nearly shut for companies without substantial revenue independent of AI data centers, and that the 200+ neoclouds face consolidation. The article argues that hyperscalers with other businesses, such as Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet, could benefit as weaker neocloud providers struggle.
