Is META Stock’s $130B AI Buildout Your Ticket to an 8.7% Yield?

Meta Platforms (META) trades about 17% below its 52-week high, and has lost ground over the past year while the S&P 500 climbed. You can be paid now for agreeing to buy the shares well below today's price, whether or not you ever own them. The catch is the reason they have lagged: Meta is spending on data centers almost as fast as the business turns cash.
