Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Meta Platforms ( META ) is granting stock options to its top executives for the first time since its 2012 IPO, aiming to retain and reward leadership as it continues heavy spending to stay competitive in the intensifying AI race. The new options, outlined in company filings on Tuesday, will be released if Meta hits ambitious stock-price milestones over the coming years. CFO Susan Li, CTO Andrew Bosworth, Chief product officer Chris Cox, COO Javier Olivan, president Dina Powell McCormick, and chief legal officer Curtis Mahoney are eligible for the stock options, regulatory filings showed. CEO Mark Zuckerberg , with a net worth of over $200 billion, is not part of the plan. All executives except McCormick and Mahoney, who joined Meta ( META ) in January, will also receive an increase in restricted stock awards, worth a total of $170 million at last close, which vest quarterly. Chief Accounting Officer Aaron Anderson will only receive restricted stock. For the first tranche of options to be paid out, Meta’s stock has to hit $1,116.08, an 88% increase from Tuesday’s closing price and equal to a market cap of about $2.82 trillion, based on current shares outstanding. The next tranche requires a stock price of $1,393.87. The price goes up significantly for each additional tranche, with the highest being $3,727.12, which would make the company worth over $9 trillion. The most valuable company in the world today is Nvidia ( NVDA ). The Facebook parent's stock price is down about 4% in the past year, trailing all of its megacap tech peers apart from Microsoft ( MSFT ) , which has dropped 5%. Alphabet ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), meanwhile, has jumped 73%, boosted by the success of its Gemini AI portfolio. The company has also offered huge pay packages, some worth hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, to court top AI researchers to a new superintelligence team.

Investors seeking to buy or sell Asian stocks following any spike in oil prices should aim to execute orders in the first few minutes of the trading day and then steer clear, according to UBS AG. That’s the finding of a study into how six regional equity markets performed in the first week of March as the outbreak of the Iran war reverberated across financial assets. Turnover was concentrated at the start of trading, after which execution quality deteriorated, based on the analysis by the bank’s electronic trading desk. “Volatility was overwhelmingly front‑loaded at the market open, and intraday volume curves reverted toward historical averages after the open in general,” the note said. “No market exhibited sustained intraday volume expansion beyond the open.” The study gives an insight into how equity trading in Asia has been transformed since the start of the Middle-East conflict on Feb. 28. Not only is market direction increasingly dependent on headlines, but moves are becoming outsized, and the direction of stocks has seen an increasing number of intraday reversals. UBS found the most pronounced case of front-loaded trading in South Korea, where the Kospi 200 Index saw trading volumes at the open jump to as much as 2.2 times the six-month average. Trading then dropped off significantly, though there was some intermittent volatility around lunchtime. “The Kospi shows an extremely concentrated response,” the note said. “Almost all meaningful trading related to the Brent shock occurs at the very start.” Investors should try to restrict their trading to the first five minutes, and avoid any re-entry or midday positioning, according to the note. Similarly, investors should seek to trade stocks in Japan’s Nikkei 225 Stock Average during the first 10 to 15 minutes of the session, and Australia’s benchmark in the first 15 to 25 minutes. For Chinese equities, there is a key window around the open from 9:25 a.m. to 9:40 a.m., the note said. Read more: ‘Stopped Out’: Asia ...

After a long wait, investors finally get the news they have been anticipating for some time. Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARM) is launching its own chip. Over a year ago, Reuters reported that Arm was building a customer base for its own chips, and Arm finally made those plans public at its Arm Everywhere event on Tuesday. The move makes sense as Arm had been moving downstream with its compute subsystems (CSS) designs, which go beyond its historical model as a CPU licensor. Now, Arm is breaking from its traditional position as a licensing company and launching its own Arm-designed chips. It's a data-center CPU , the Arm AGI CPU, which comes at a time when the company is seeing explosive growth in its data center business, as AI data center royalty revenue is more than doubling.
