- Nvidia Is Taking a $3 Billion Chunk of Meta’s Equity. It’s Over to Broadcom.
- Meta Tested Broadcom’s CPO for 1 Million Port-Hours. What It Found
Micas Networks announced a compact co-packaged optics (CPO) switch built on Broadcom's Tomahawk 6-Davisson chip, with production expected in early 2027. Davisson is Broadcom's third-generation CPO switch and can move 102.4 terabits per second. A paper presented in October 2025 said Meta tested Broadcom's previous-generation CPO switches for one million cumulative device hours without a single link failure, while using 65% less power per lane than traditional pluggable optics. Davisson has not yet published comparable data, and Nvidia's Spectrum-X Photonics CPO switch is already in full production. Broadcom (AVGO) trades at a forward non-GAAP P/E of 30.43x, about 11% above its 5-year average, though analysts expect earnings to rise about 71% this fiscal year.
- Meta's deal with AMD, Nvidia, Broadcom: Is circular financing a risk?
Madison and Speaker A discuss Meta's deal involving Broadcom, AMD and Nvidia, with Nvidia taking part in an equity issuance, and whether the circular nature of the financing is a concern. Madison notes that Mag 7 companies are mentioned throughout the S-1, and that circular funding has been common for these firms without causing major problems for investors before. The more interesting question is whether market patience is wearing thin for neocloud companies that need heavy funding to build infrastructure. Speaker A cites a Goldman report and Torsten Slok of Apollo saying AI spending will peak in the fourth quarter, along with Gartner's view that the downturn will be ugly when it comes, though not for everyone as large companies absorb smaller ones.
- Nvidia and Meta expand their AI partnership: What to know
Nvidia will invest $3 billion in Meta's equity offering, as Meta expanded its planned equity raise from 95 billion to 97 and a half billion. The common stock offering sold 25 billion, above the expected 22 and a half billion. The hosts note that although called a partnership, Nvidia is mostly selling chips to Meta, and the market may still read the deal as a bullish signal. They total recent financing deals, including a potential $100 billion Anthropic IPO, Meta's raise of roughly $100 billion, a $40 billion SpaceX GPU financing and a $63 billion Broadcom-Anthropic financing, at about $300 billion over 48 hours. They ask where the payoff for all this financing will come from.
- Meta’s $25 Billion Stock Sale Drew Five Times the Demand
Meta priced 40,000,000 Class A shares at $625 on October 26, raising $25.0 billion, up from the $22.5 billion planned, after investors placed orders for about five times the shares offered. The stock then fell 1.64% to $620.19 on October 27, below the price buyers paid. NVIDIA committed $3 billion as Meta expands its Vera Rubin deployment, and AMD, whose Helios systems are installed at Meta, committed $1 billion; the article notes both deals are partly vendor financing. The offering combines common shares sold through forward agreements, settling by November 19, 2027, with $12.5 billion of 6.50% mandatory convertible preferred depositary shares, for a $37.5 billion underwritten total. The sale followed free cash flow turning negative for the first time since 2012, after nearly $34 billion in capex against almost $33 billion in cash generation, and the 15 largest investors took about 70% of the deal.
- Meta's nearly $100 billion stock sale is a turning point for how Big Tech pays for AI
Meta is selling nearly $100 billion of stock to fund AI spending, including $3 billion from Nvidia (NVDA). The offering includes $25 billion of common stock priced at $625 a share, $12.5 billion of preferred stock paying 6.5% that converts to common stock in 2029, and up to $60 billion of a new nonvoting class to be sold gradually from next year. Last quarter, capital spending of almost $34 billion outpaced nearly $33 billion of cash from the business, pushing free cash flow negative for the first time since 2012. Every shareholder also gets a free nonvoting share for each share owned, a structure that grew out of a dispute over Zuckerberg's taxes and keeps his control at about 61% of votes despite owning about 13%. Meta's five-year credit default swaps hit a record 127 basis points before easing, implying nearly a 10% chance of default over five years, up from about 4% a year ago, according to Yahoo Finance calculations.

- DTCC unit launches tokenization services
The Depository Trust Company (DTC), a DTCC subsidiary, has launched the DTCC Tokenization Service (DTS), which lets eligible clients mint tokens representing securities held at DTC that can move to digital wallets while keeping the same ownership rights and investor protections. Twenty clients, including Alpaca, Citadel Securities, Citi, Fidelity Investments and JPMorgan, have signed agreements to use the service, and DTC has more than $114 trillion in assets under custody. The service currently runs on Canton Network and DTCC's Besu private network, with more blockchain networks planned for 2027, and DTCC says it creates a 'practical path' for tokenized securities adoption.

DTCC has launched its tokenization service on Canton Network and its private Besu blockchain, initially covering select large-cap Russell 1000 stocks, ETFs and U.S. Treasury securities. A DTCC spokesperson said 34 securities are eligible at launch, representing about $30 trillion in market value, and 20 firms including JPMorgan, Citi, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and UBS have signed agreements to access the service. The tokens are backed one-for-one by securities held at DTC and can move between registered wallets 24/7, while official ownership records stay with DTC. DTCC plans to add Stellar and Circle Internet's Arc blockchain in 2027, along with tools for settling transactions with digital cash and using tokenized securities as collateral.
- NVIDIA, AMD and Broadcom May Invest in Meta, Their Own Biggest Customer. What That Signals
The article says NVIDIA, AMD and Broadcom, Meta's major chip suppliers, may take part in the large stock offering Meta is using to fund AI spending, building on existing ties such as Broadcom's custom AI chip deal running through 2029 and AMD's warrant. Q3 revenue rose 26.07% to $64.60 billion and beat estimates, but GAAP EPS of $3.83 fell short because of a $9.89 billion litigation charge, and free cash flow was -$2.12 billion on $34.906 billion of capex. 24/7 Wall St.'s model sets a 12-month price target of $804.16, 25.14% above $642.62, and assigns the stock a buy rating. The piece also flags share dilution and upcoming youth litigation trials as risks.
- Is Zuckerberg pulling the rug out from under Anthropic?
Meta is raising up to $97.5 billion, including $25 billion in common stock and $12.5 billion in preferred securities, as Anthropic prepares an IPO, with its prospectus showing $16.29 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026. The filing shows Anthropic's operating loss narrowed to $693 million, but its compute and infrastructure commitments exceed $600 billion, leaving it dependent on continued access to capital. The article argues Meta's advantage is its existing ad revenue to fund AI, and that its Muse models are closing the gap with Claude on some independent benchmarks, often at lower prices. Meta's third-quarter free cash flow was -$2.12 billion, and its full-year capex forecast was raised to $135 billion to $145 billion.
