Meta Grants Stock Options to Executives Amid $135 Billion AI Push

Meta Platforms is granting stock options to key leaders, including CFO Susan Li and technology chief Andrew Bosworth, as revealed in SEC filings. This move comes as Meta aims to strengthen its position in artificial intelligence amidst growing competition, with plans to spend up to $135 billion this year in capital expenditures. To trigger the first tranche of stock options, Meta's stock price must reach $1,116.08, representing an 88% increase from the recent closing price. The company’s stock has declined approximately 4% over the past year, lagging behind most tech peers.
