Meta reported record revenue of $64.6 billion for the third quarter while announcing a stock split and the creation of a new share class. The move is designed to fund the company’s expanding AI spending without altering Mark Zuckerberg’s voting control. The new stock structure allows Meta to raise capital while preserving the founder’s dominant voting power.
Analysts view the strategy as a way to balance growth investments with governance stability. The company continues to pour resources into artificial intelligence infrastructure and research to maintain competitiveness in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. The stock split aims to increase liquidity and accessibility for investors while the dual-class structure ensures long-term strategic alignment under Zuckerberg’s leadership.
