Stock Market News From March 24, 2026: Dow Slips. It Took a Hit From Tech.

Meta Platforms (META) has unveiled ambitious executive pay incentives, targeting a $9 trillion market capitalization by 2031 as it aims to stay ahead in the intensifying AI talent race.

Under the stock options program, which includes six leaders but excludes CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the full value of the options would only be realized if Meta stock jumps more than 500% to $3,727, according to filings made late Tuesday.

As of Tuesday’s closing price of $592.92, the Facebook owner’s current market cap stands at $1.5 trillion.

“This is a big bet. These pay packages will not be realized unless Meta achieves massive future success, benefiting all of our shareholders,” a Meta spokesman stated in a report by The Wall Street Journal.
