S&P cuts Meta outlook to negative over $252B AI capex and cash flow deficits

S&P downgrades Meta outlook to negative amid capex and cash flow concerns

2 Oct 30 5:09 PM · 8d ago · 1 article · 1 source · development 2 of 3

S&P Global Ratings changed Meta's outlook from stable to negative, projecting capital expenditures will reach $140B in 2026 and accelerate to $225B+ in 2027 and $252B in 2028—significantly higher than prior forecasts. The agency now expects Meta to generate free operating cash flow deficits of $22B in 2026 and $71B in 2027, with 2028 showing a $39B deficit, reversing prior projections of 2028 cash flow recovery.
