Technology giants that want to spend big on artificial intelligence and stay in the good graces of investors should take a page out of Meta Platforms Inc.’s playbook.

The Mark Zuckerberg run company has seen its shares gain 13% this month, far outperforming Big Tech peers despite reporting another jump in capital expenditures and pledging to spend even more going forward. The stock rose as much as 1.7% to $544.23 on Thursday, hitting a fresh all-time high.
