S&P Global Ratings Downgrades Meta's Credit Outlook to Negative
S&P Global Ratings has revised its credit outlook for Meta Platforms from stable to negative, while affirming the company's long-term credit rating at 'AA-'. The downgrade reflects concerns over Meta's substantial investments in artificial intelligence and the metaverse, which are anticipated to impact free cash flow. Specifically, S&P cited negative free cash flow in the third quarter as a contributing factor. This move signals potential future challenges for Meta's financial flexibility, though its current creditworthiness remains strong.
