What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Meta’s earnings and a higher AI-related spending outlook. The New York Times alone highlights the cash-flow strain, saying it turned negative and that Meta said it would issue a new class of stock to raise more money. Bloomberg Technology instead focuses on a market reaction segment, with Ygal Arounian of Wedbush discussing the earnings and boosted capital spending plans on Bloomberg.
