Peggy Alford, serving on the board of Meta Platforms, sold 392 shares of the companys Class A common stock on February 25, 2026, at a per-share price of $643.00. The transaction produced total proceeds of $252,056 and was carried out pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that Alford adopted on November 25, 2025.
After completing that disposition, Alford retains direct ownership of 3,113 shares held through the Alford Family Revocable Trust. At the time the sale was reported, Meta shares were trading around $648. The companys market capitalization stood at approximately $1.63 trillion, with a reported price-to-earnings ratio of 27.28 and gross profit margins of 82%.
Independent analytics cited in connection with the filing indicate that Meta appears undervalued at current market levels. The filing notes the availability of a broader Pro Research Report covering this name and more than 1,400 other U.S. equities for investors seeking further detail.
Several corporate and market developments were highlighted alongside the insider transaction. Credit agency Moodys has assigned Meta a stable Aa3 rating, reflecting what Moodys describes as strong operating performance and substantial liquidity. Moodys projections in that view include revenue growth of more than 20% for 2026 and about 18% for 2027, numbers that the rating agency flagged as materially higher than expected growth in the wider digital advertising market.
On the regulatory and legal front, Meta has initiated litigation against scam advertisers operating in Brazil, China and Vietnam. Those suits target alleged deceptive behaviors on the companys platforms, including the unauthorized use of celebrity images and the deployment of cloaking techniques to conceal the true nature of ads.
The report also notes corporate arrangements and market reactions affecting related technology and payments companies. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) announced a supply agreement with Meta to provide AI computing infrastructure; that development has been described as having a positive impact on AMDs share price. Separately, PayPal Holdings has drawn acquisition interest after a decline in its stock, with market commentary indicating that assets such as Venmo could command premium multiples. Wolfe Research was referenced as noting that PayPal is trading at roughly seven times its 2027 earnings-per-share estimate. Finally, Amazon disclosed plans to invest $50 billion in OpenAI, cited as a notable corporate commitment to AI infrastructure.
The disclosed insider sale by a board member, the credit assessment from Moodys, ongoing legal actions targeting advertisers and several major technology and payments developments together frame the immediate context surrounding the filing. Investors reviewing director transactions and cross-company corporate news may weigh this combination of governance, credit and commercial factors when assessing valuations and risk for the firms mentioned.
