Meta Platforms, Asia's top-performing tech company, has announced a new stock option plan for its top executives that will only pay out if the company's market cap increases from $1.36 trillion to $9 trillion by 2031, making it worth more than twice Nvidia's value. The plan covers six of Meta's top executives, including CFO Susan Li, CTO Andrew Bosworth, COO Javier Olivan, and Chief Product Officer Chris Cox. Each executive could unlock options worth up to $625.6 million if Meta hits the $9trion target, potentially rising to $90021 million per executive when accounting for restricted stock units. The new plan provides a signal about where the company is betting its future and how confident it is getting there. However, forecasts show that free cash flow will drop sharply in 2026, down 75.1% year over year, as Meta invests heavily into data centers, artificial intelligence infrastructure, and custom chips. The company initiated its first-ever dividend in 2024, marking a turning point for the stock.
