Meta completes preferred share sale as Nvidia plans $3 billion investment

According to an 8-K filing, Meta agreed under an underwriting deal dated October 26, 2026 to issue 250 million depositary shares. Each one represents a 1/20th interest in the Series A preferred, which converts mandatorily into common stock. Underwriters may purchase up to 37,500,000 additional shares, and the transaction closed on October 29, 2026.

The filing also refers to forward sale agreements linked to a common stock offering, along with certificates of designations tied to changes in the company's governing documents. It was filed under items covering a material agreement, a change in shareholder rights and charter amendments.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia plans to put $3 billion into Meta's equity offering as the two companies deepen their AI cooperation. That report is a summary, so timing and terms beyond the amount are not known.

TheStreet characterised the broader stock sale as worth $100 billion and argued it reduces the ownership share of existing investors. Because mandatory convertibles eventually become common shares, they can dilute holders over time. New supply of this kind often weighs on a share price, though a strategic buyer like Nvidia could soften some of that concern.
