Meta has launched equity offerings to fund its AI expansion, making dilution and expected preferred-dividend costs more important for shareholders. The stock fell 1.9% on roughly twice its usual volume, extending a sharp five-day retreat.

Shares edged lower as the broader market rose, leaving the recovery from last week’s post-earnings reversal incomplete.
